This action aligns with a broader trend initiated when Maldivian cabinet members mocked PM Modi’s Lakshadweep Islands visit, sparking a social media movement advocating for the exploration of Indian islands. Influential figures like Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan champion this cause, and the Indian Chamber of Commerce (ICC) emphasizes redirecting inquiries to Lakshadweep, reinforcing the prevailing sentiment to boycott Maldives.
