Gasuim Ibrahim, leader of the Jumhoori Party, has called on Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu to formally apologise to India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for recent controversial remarks, seeking diplomatic reconciliation to mend bilateral relations.
Gasuim Ibrahim, leader of Jumhoori Party, demands Maldives President Muizzu to apologize to India and Prime Minister Modi for derogatory remarks, urging diplomatic reconciliation to mend bilateral relations. Gasuim attributes remarks to former President Abdulla Yameen and criticizes former President Ibrahim Solih for delaying opposition to the India Out campaign. Gasuim highlights India s expertise and role in medical services and medicines, opposing Muizzu s suggestion to reduce dependence on India. Muizzu s recent comments further complicate Maldives-India relationship, requiring a formal apology for diplomatic reconciliation. This is not the first time Muizzu has been asked to mend ways with India.
Ibrahim's demand referred to remarks by Muizzu – regarded as pro-China – earlier in the month referring to India as a bully without naming the country.
