Maldivies Row Escalates. Envoy Reaches MEA HQ at Delhi’s South Block

Maldives Envoy to India, Ibrahim Shaheeb was on January 08 seen leaving the Ministry of External Affairs in the national capital`s South Block. This comes amid a row over derogatory social media remarks by some ministers in Maldives on Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s recent visit to Lakshadweep. Maldives High Commissioner to India Ibrahim Shaheeb was seen arriving at the MEA office building and leaving a short while later. A massive row was triggered last week after Maldives deputy minister, along with other cabinet members and government officials, made disparaging and unsavoury references to PM Modi`s Lakshadweep visit.
