In another tweet, he wrote, "Why shell out for a destination which doesn’t respect the PM of the country which give them maximum tourism every year more over security and military assistance too, when your own motherland offers you such immaculate, scenic wonders of nature. #ExploreIndianIslands."

For the unversed, PM recently visited and shared some images from his visit to Lakshadweep Islands with a caption aiming to motivate Indians to visit the islands and to promote tourism in India. However, things took an ugly turn when 3 deputy ministers of India's neighbouring country Maldives made some derogatory remarks on the tweets about India and our PM. Indian patriots also took on the internet by actively opposing such remarks and making #boycottmaldives trend on X.
