New Delhi. As soon as Prime Minister Narendra Modi visits Lakshadweep, leaders and ministers of neighboring country Maldives are commenting against India on social media. In such a situation, the Government of India has raised the issue of the derogatory remarks made by Maldives’ Women Minister Mariam Shiuna on social media against PM Modi. The Maldives government has suspended Mariam Shiuna along with two other ministers Malsha and Hassan Jihan, terming the minister’s comments as personal opinions.
