Maryam Shiuna posted a post on social media X (earlier Twitter) on Saturday (April 6) gathering support for her party PPM.

Maldivian officials including Maryam Shiuna had made very derogatory comments against PM Modi and India. This matter had gained a lot of attention. India had expressed strong objection to these comments. Even Boycott Maldives started trending on social media.
