00:38 said on social media, "In conjunction with our country,
00:44 Ease My Trip has suspended booking of all flights to Maldives."
00:49 Online travel solution provider Ease My Trip started the Chalo Lakshadweep campaign.
00:54 Ease My Trip's headquarter is in Delhi and in 2008, Nishant Pitti, Rekhant Pitti and Prashant Pitti started it.
01:01 On 4th January, Prashant Pitti wrote in his post that,
01:04 "The water and beaches of Lakshadweep are as good as Maldives.
01:08 We will bring special offers to increase this destination in Ease My Trip,
01:12 where our PM Narendra Modi has recently visited."
01:16 Well, the dispute between India and Maldives is increasing.
01:20 #BoycottMaldives is going on social media.
01:23 There is a lot of anger between Indian tourists.
01:26 Many Indian tourists have even cancelled their trip to Maldives.
01:32 After the statement of Maldives' ministers, it is being claimed on social media that,
01:36 after this whole incident, Indian tourists have cancelled more than 2500 flight tickets
01:42 with more than 8000 hotel bookings.
01:45 After the revolt in India, Maldives government has suspended three ministers
01:51 from visiting Maldives.
01:53 In Mariam Shioona's post, there were pictures of PM Narendra Modi's recent Lakshadweep trip,
01:58 however, this post has been deleted.
02:00 Maldives' Youth Empowerment Information and Arts Deputy Minister
02:04 had used words like "Joker" and "Puppet of Israel" about PM Modi.
02:09 Actually, India had raised this issue in a strong manner in front of Maldives government.
02:14 Meanwhile, the top opposition leaders of the island nation also raised this issue.
02:19 Maldives' media has said that in Youth Empowerment,
02:22 Minister Malsha Sharif, Mariam Shioona and Abdullah Mahzoo Mazeed have been suspended from their posts.
02:28 And this controversy started when Maldives' President Dr. Mohamed Mouizou
02:34 is going to visit China for a week.
02:38 Well, on social media, people are appealing to Lakshadweep instead of Maldives from tourists.
02:44 People say that the Maldives' government is leaning towards China.
02:49 In the midst of the controversy with India, Maldives' President Mohamed Mouizou is going on a trip to China.
02:55 In November, Mouizou, who was in charge of the post, recently announced
03:00 and broke the tradition that he would visit China before the trip to India.
03:04 For Maldives' presidents, India's visit has always been important.
03:10 But Mouizou did not do this and his first visit was to Turkey.
03:15 And after that, he is going to China before coming to India.
