"Maldives Opposition Leader Urges President Muizzu to Apologize to PM Modi Amidst Geopolitical Tensions"
Maldives Opposition Leader Qasim Ibrahim has urged President Mohamed Muizzu to apologize to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the people of India following clashes in the Maldivian Parliament over the approval of cabinet members. The opposition's 'India Out' campaign, led by former president Abdulla Yameen, claimed that Indian military officers stationed in the Maldives violated the country's sovereignty. President Ibrahim Solih had signed a decree deeming the campaign a threat to national security, and India and the Maldives have agreed to fast-track the withdrawal of Indian military personnel from the island nation.
