The Maldives' state broadcaster Public Service Media is accused of editing the Arabic word "Fasiq" out of a Quranic verse recited at a reception during President Muizzu's visit to Rasdhoo Island on Sunday. PSM deleted the video and related posts following public outcry, while supporters of the president called it a technical mistake.
