The denial came after local media outlet Adhadhu reported the suspension of three deputy ministers for making disparaging statements against PM Modi. The reported suspension was linked to social media posts mocking Prime Minister Modi, following his recent visit to Lakshadweep. However, Zihan has dismissed these reports as false, emphasizing that the Maldives government has not suspended any ministers for anti-India or anti-Hindu remarks. The situation has sparked a significant reaction, with former Maldivian Foreign Minister Abdulla Shahid condemning the derogatory remarks made by the deputy ministers. The incident has drawn attention due to the close ties between India and the Maldives, with India having provided security and assistance to the Maldives in the past.
