‘India and Maldives share a strong bond. Statements by new ministers are irresponsible and unnecessary’: Former Maldives tourism minister

Abdulla Mausoom, former tourism minister of Maldives, criticizes the 'unnecessary' social media posts by ministers of the new government that caused outrage and #boycottmaldives to trend. He emphasizes that these posts are no longer personal as they represent the government and country. Mausoom highlights the strong bond between India and Maldives under former President Solih's government, including the travel bubble arrangement that made India the top source market. He stresses the importance of safeguarding the import-dependent and tourism-reliant industries and expresses hope for the return of Indian tourists in larger numbers.
