Many Indians on social media have claimed that they have cancelled their planned vacations to the island nation in the wake of a controversy surrounding a tweet made by a Maldivian minister a few days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited the Lakshadweep archipelago.
A tweet from a Maldivian minister that claimed India was targeting the country and that India would find it difficult to compete with the Maldives in beach tourism set off the controversy.
A lot of people posted alleged screenshots of their cancelled hotel and airfare on social media. Moreover, “#BoycottMaldives” is among the most popular trends on X in India.
