New Delhi: Amid a row over a tweet by a Maldives minister days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the Lakshadweep archipelago, many Indians on social media have claimed that they have cancelled their planned holidays to the island nation.
The controversy was triggered after a tweet by a Maldives minister, accusing India of targeting the nation and asserting that India faces challenges in competing with the Maldives in beach tourism.
Many on social media shared purported screenshots of their cancelled air travel and hotel bookings. Additionally ‘#BoycottMaldives’ is also one of the top trends on X in India.
Say no to Maldives🚫

Hey, Mr. Mohammad Muizzu,
You need to tame your ministers, before they dare to speak on India ever again.#BoycottMaldives pic.twitter.com/ch4DwXSuC7— ⚡ NOISE ALERTS ⚡ (@NoiseAlerts) January 7, 2024
So the entire anti India campaign is being sponsored by a few business houses who are close to #Maldives President & their ministers.
And President @MMuizzu is doing it purposely to please China. Sources say he’s visiting China in a few days.#BoycottMaldives pic.twitter.com/eh3MFsKXee

This is not #Maldives.
This beautiful place is from #Lakshadweep.
You don’t need a passport, visa, or permission to travel to #Lakshadweep.
Why do you want to go to a country whose government and people hate you?#BoycottMaldives#Maldivians #NarendraModi#Indian pic.twitter.com/baTOCxK7Oc
