Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had gone to Lakshadweep, from where some of his pictures were also revealed. After PM Modi’s visit to Lakshadweep, people are giving importance to visit Lakshadweep as an alternative instead of Maldives. Maldives Minister Abdulla Mahzoom Majeed is not happy with this and while sharing a post he said that India is targeting us. He wrote that India will have to face difficult challenges to compete with Maldives in the matter of tourism. Commenting on the post, Zahid Rameez, leader of Maldives’ ruling party Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM), wrote, ‘Good step. However, the idea of competing with us is misleading. How can they provide the service we provide? How can they be so clean? The biggest downfall is the smell coming from the rooms.
Came across comments from prominent public figures from Maldives passing hateful and racist comments on Indians. Surprised that they are doing this to a country that sends them the maximum number of tourists.
We are good to our neighbors but
why should we tolerate such… pic.twitter.com/DXRqkQFguN— Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar) January 7, 2024
Now Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has also given his opinion on this matter. Akshay Kumar has made a tweet, in which he writes, ‘It came to light about some hateful and racist comments made by prominent public figures of Maldives on Indians. It was surprising to know that they are doing this with the country which sends them the largest number of tourists. We are good to our neighbors, but why tolerate hatred spread without any reason? I have been to Maldives many times and have always praised it, but now dignity comes first. Let us now decide to explore the Indian islands and support our tourism.
It is noteworthy that while sharing his experience of Lakshadweep, PM Modi had written, ‘For those who want to have a thrilling experience, Lakshadweep should definitely be on their list. I also tried snorkeling. What an exhilarating experience it was!”. This post of PM Modi went viral and many social media users said that Lakshadweep can be an alternative tourist destination of Maldives, after which objectionable comments are coming from the leaders of Maldives government.
Some other Bollywood stars have reacted on this matter. Let us tell you who has said what.
With the amazing Indian hospitality, the idea of “Atithi Devo Bhava” and a vast marine life to explore. Lakshwadeep is the place to go.#exploreindianislands pic.twitter.com/CA1d9r0QZ5
