Hostility towards India: MEA on report alleging coup in Maldives
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) rejected Washington Post report alleging that opposition sought $6 million from India to aid in a plot to impeach Maldives President Mohamed Muizzu. "Both...newspaper and reporter in question, appear to nurse...compulsive hostility towards India," MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal added. Earlier, ex-Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed also dismissed allegations.
