After making derogatory remarks about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former Maldivian Minister Mariam Shiuna has once again spewed venom against India. He has once again insulted India. Maryam has targeted the country's opposition party MDP regarding the parliamentary elections to be held in Maldives and has also shared a fake post on social media to insult India.
This post of Maryam Shiuna has created an uproar, people are very angry. Indian social media users have demanded President Muizzu to take strict action against Shiuna. Due to the uproar, Maryam's post has been removed from social media. He has also apologized. She has shared a post saying that she apologizes for her recent post. He said that he was not aware of it and whatever happened happened unknowingly. They were told that the picture shared in the post resembles the Indian tricolor. He is sorry for this misunderstanding. He further said that Maldives values its relations with India and respects the country.
Mariam Shiuna on Saturday (April 6) made a post on social media X (formerly Twitter) to garner support for her party PPM. In whose poster the Ashok Chakra included in the tricolor flag of India was insulted. Targeting the opposition party PPM, he included Ashok Chakra in the poster. He also wrote in his post that MDP i.e. India is falling into their trap but we i.e. Maldives do not need to fall into their trap again.
This poster was made by distorting the poster of the opposition party Maldives Democratic Party (MDP). The MDP poster had a compass which was replaced with the Ashoka Chakra included in the tricolor of India. The poster included not only Ashok Chakra but also BJP's election symbol lotus. The motive behind Maryam Shiuna doing this was to insult India.
Let us tell you that tension has been going on between India and Maldives for some time. The tension started when Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Lakshadweep and shared some pictures on social media praising Lakshadweep. Maldivian officials including Maryam Shiuna had made very derogatory comments against PM Modi and India. This matter had gained a lot of attention. India had expressed strong objection to these comments. Even Boycott Maldives started trending on social media.
