President Muizzu’s Comments at Princeton Recontextualise Maldives-India Bilateral Ties
President Muizzu condemned deputy ministers who insulted PM Modi, stating he took action. Speaking at Princeton University, he explained his 'India Out' stance was about foreign military presence, not severing ties. The incident involved Malsha Shareef and Mariyam Shiuna calling Modi a 'clown' and 'terrorist'; they were suspended for eight months and resigned on 10 September when Muizzu announced his India visit. Relations have improved after initial friction over Indian troops.
