Boycott Maldives: #ExploreIndianIslands trends as celebs pitch for Lakshadweep amid row | Oneindia

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.

Israel Fails To Catch Hamas' Chief Yahya Sinwar In Rafah Tunnels | Shocking Report Out

The leader of Hamas's political wing in Gaza and one of Israel's most wanted men, Yahya Sinwar, is not in Rafah, two officials said as Israel moved ahead with its ground offensive in Gaza's southernmost city. Two officials, citing intelligence inputs, told The Times of Israel that the Hamas leader was hiding in underground tunnels in the Khan Younis area, around five miles north of Rafah. Another official from Israel said Sinwar was still in Gaza. In March, it was reported that close relatives of Yahya Sinwar crossed over to Egypt through the Rafah crossing. Several other top Hamas leaders have also managed to move their relatives and family out of Gaza into safe zones in Egypt. Israel has called Yahya Sinwar the mastermind behind the October 7, 2023, raid into southern Israel, in which about 1,200 people were killed, and more than 200 others kidnapped. #Israel #Hamas #YahyaSinwar #Rafah #Gaza #IsraeliIntel #GroundOffensive #Tunnels #KhanYounis #Mastermind #October7Raid #IsraelHamasWar #Security #Conflict #MiddleEast ~PR.152~ED.155~GR.121~HT.96~

Kangana Ranaut knocks Tejasvi Surya in flub, Tejashwi Yadav reacts | Viral Video | Oneindia News

During an election rally in Himachal Pradesh, Kangana Ranaut, now a BJP candidate, inadvertently mixed up Tejashwi Yadav with BJP MP Tejasvi Surya while criticising the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader for "eating fish". However, it was Yadav who had previously faced criticism for a video showing him consuming fish during Navratri. The rally, held in Mandi, highlighted Ranaut's political foray in the Lok Sabha seat. In her address, she not only attacked Yadav but also accused Surya of "hooliganism" and referenced his alleged fish-eating habits. #LSPolls2024 #Elections2024 #LokSabhaElections2024 #TejashwiYadav #KanganaRanaut #TejasviSurya #MachliRemark #PoliticalFlub #ViralVideo #PoliticalDrama #ElectionSeason #SocialMediaBuzz #PublicReactions ~HT.99~PR.152~ED.101~
