We were never against India : Mohamed Muizzu

An attempt to damage control, the Anti-India and China-loving President of Maldives issues statement

New York (USA) – Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu has denied having an “India Out” agenda, asserting that the island nation had a “serious problem” with the presence of foreign military on its soil. Muizzu, who is in the US to attend the 79^thsession of the United Nations General Assembly, made the remarks on Thursday while responding to a question at Princeton University’s “Dean’s Leadership Series”. Muizzu will soon be on his first official tour of India.

Muizzu said, ‘We have taken action against our ministers who insulted the Indian Prime Minister through social media. No one should say that. I will not tolerate such insult from anyone, be it a leader or a common man. Everyone has their own respect’, he explained.

Malsha Shareef and Mariyam Shiuna, Ministers for Women in the Maldivian Government, had made comments against Prime Minister Modi on social media. After this, there was anger in India against Maldives.

Editorial Perspective

Looking at the behaviour of Maldives in relation to India in the last few months, it is clear how much Muizzu is lying ! Due to the lack of Indian tourists, the economic condition of Maldives is getting worse and now he is trying to appease India.
