Recently, a controversy erupted after Maldives Deputy Minister of Youth Empowerment Mariyam Shiuna made an objectionable remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi owing to his recent visit to Lakshadweep. Soon after her comment on a Tweet went viral, the Maldives government condemned the same and called India a ‘time-tested friend.’ Later, another row erupted after Maldivian leader Zahid Rameez accused India of “copying a small economy like Sri Lanka” to make money. However, these comments from the Island nation’s ministers created an uproar on social media, calling for a boycott of the Island.

Amid the Maldives controversy, many Indian celebs have come together to encourage their fans to explore the Indian Islands and join hands for Lakshadweep. On the other hand, Akshay Kumar and Kangana Ranaut have given it back to the Maldivian leader for his hateful tweets against India and its island. A couple of days back, PM Modi spent some time at the picturesque beaches of the island and enjoys snorkeling too. Scroll down.

Taking to Twitter, Akshay Kumar shared the screenshots of Zahid Rameez’s Tweet and wrote, “Came across comments from prominent public figures from the 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 unprovoked hate? I’ve visited the Maldives many times and always praised it, but dignity first. Let us decide to #ExploreIndianIslands and support our own tourism.”
