India Thunders At Maldives; Summons Envoy Over PM Modi's Insult | 'Remarks Unacceptable...'

India has officially raised its protest with the Maldives over an "insult" to the PM. India summoned the Maldives envoy after three ministers of the island nation made derogatory remarks against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Maldives High Commissioner Ibrahim Shaheeb visited the Ministry of External Affairs in New Delhi. Two countries reportedly had a long discussion on the ongoing controversy. The meeting in Delhi took place as the Maldivian government distanced itself from its ministers.
