Why is #ChaloLakshadweep trending on social media?
#ChaloLakshadweep and #BoycottMaldives are trending on social media following the derogatory remarks made by some ministers of the Maldives Government. They have now been suspended and the Maldives government issued a statement rejecting the derogatory remarks against India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
What started as a social media war turned into a diplomatic row. On January 4, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shared images on X from his visit to Lakshadweep islands. Although he didn't mention Maldives anywhere in his post, social media users from Maldives slammed the PM. Maldives Ministers Malsha Shareef, Mariyam Shiuna, and Abdulla Mahzoom Majid called PM Narendra Modi names in now deleted X posts.
Criticizing this move, Indians are now promoting tourism within the country using the hashtags #ChaloLakshadweep and #BoycottMaldives.
