In the midst of the ongoing dispute surrounding a disrespectful tweet from a Maldivian minister directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi following his recent visit to Lakshadweep, notable Indian celebrities have turned to social media, encouraging people to consider the Indian archipelago as an alternative tourist destination. The controversy erupted on Saturday when Maldivian minister Mariyam Shiuna ridiculed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Lakshadweep visit.Shiuna, the Deputy Minister of Youth Empowerment in the Maldives, referred to PM Modi as a 'clown' and 'puppet of Israel' in now-deleted posts on X. The tweets were removed following a backlash on the micro-blogging site. While the Maldives government distanced itself from the insulting remarks made by its minister on Sunday, continued outrage was evident on various social media platforms. Numerous celebrities, including Akshay Kumar, Sachin Tendulkar, Salman Khan, Kangana Ranaut, John Abraham, Shraddha Kapoor, and others, encouraged their followers to "explore Indian islands," causing the hashtag to trend on social media. Indian celebrities joined forces in supporting PM Modi's initiative to promote domestic tourism.
