Maldives opposition leader calls on President Muizzu to apologise to PM Modi, people of India

According to Maldivian radio station Voice of Maldives, Ibrahim cautioned against speaking in a way that affects the relationship, particularly with neighbouring countries.

"Regarding any country, especially a neighbouring one, we shouldn't speak in a way that affects the relationship. We have an obligation to our state that must be considered. President Solih did consider this obligation and issued a Presidential Decree banning the "India Out" campaign. Now, Yameen is questioning why Muizzu, who participated with him in the India Out Campaign, has not nullified the Presidential Decree," he was quoted as saying.

The Maldivian politician added, "The Decree should not be nullified, as it would only result in a loss to the nation. That cannot be done. I would tell Muizzu that it shouldn't be done. Also, I call on President Muizzu to formally apologise to the Indian government and Prime Minister Modi regarding his remarks after the China trip."
