Political analyst Mr Raushan Sinha shared PM Modi’s call for travellers from all around the world to visit Lakshadweep on X as a brilliant move. He even added that it was a major blow to the Maldives’ new Chinese puppet government, and additionally, it would increase Lakshadweep tourism.
Mariyam Shiuna, the Maldives’ Deputy Minister of Youth Empowerment, Information, and Arts, took offence to the tweet. In response to Mr Sinha’s post, the leader of the Maldives called Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “puppet of Israel” and a “clown”.
Shiuna has removed her post and is currently suspended, along with two other leaders of the Maldivian ruling party.
Why did Mr Sinha tweet against the Maldives?
When Indian internet users expressed their outrage at the disparaging remarks made against their nation, Mr Sinha brought up an important point in his clarification post. He tweeted that he had no intention to hurt the sentiments of Maldivians. All he wanted to convey was that India is against the Maldives’ new government because it is pro-China and anti-India, not the Maldives.
Speaking to the media, Mr Sinha emphasized that while Mohamed Muizzu’s government is in power, the opposition in the Maldives is pro-China. Notably, the dispute started before Muizzu’s January 8 visit to China.

Mr Sinha highlighted the influence that Indians have when they band together to fight forces that are hostile to their country, saying that the MEA’s summons of the Maldives envoy during the president of the Maldives’ visit to China is “a big message to China in a big way.”
Who is Mr Sinha?
Gujarat-based businessman Mr Raushan Sinha is a Bihari who is passionate about foreign affairs, geopolitics, and Indian politics. He takes great pride in being Hindu. He took a great interest in Indian politics during his college years, and he was heavily involved in campus politics.
Over time, his social media following has expanded significantly. Even though a few of his previous accounts were suspended, his pro-Hindu and India-first stance has found resonance with many, earning him an astounding 165.4k followers on X, which he joined in 2016.
Since the debate started, Mr Sinha revealed that he had gotten a few obscenities and threats to his life in his email. However, he was positive that the Indian government had backed the calls made by the Indian populace to boycott the Maldives.
A lot of anti-Indian figures, especially Maldivian politicians, were offended by the post that Mr Sinha made on Lakshadweep. This resulted in a string of unpleasant conversations that at last compelled the Maldives administration to clarify. Furthermore, it became necessary for Maldivian senior officials to restate their commitment and friendship with India.
