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.

WATCH: Israeli Drone STRIKE Captured On Video | Target Vehicle OBLITERATED In South Beirut Blast [Video]

WATCH: Israeli Drone STRIKE Captured On Video | Target Vehicle OBLITERATED In South Beirut Blast

Chilling new video captures the exact moment an Israeli drone strike destroyed a vehicle on a busy civilian road in Khaldeh, south of Beirut. The targeted attack, which took place amidst regular traffic, resulted in the death of one individual and left three others injured. The incident has sent shockwaves through the region and raised fears of a wider conflict. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) swiftly claimed responsibility for the strike. In a public statement, the IDF claimed it had successfully targeted and eliminated a militant affiliated with Iran’s Quds Force. According to Israeli military sources, the individual killed was deeply involved in smuggling weapons into the region and was actively planning terror attacks against both Israeli civilians and military forces. However, neither Israeli nor Lebanese officials have officially released the name or confirmed the identity of the person killed. This strike is not an isolated event but the latest in a series of escalating Israeli military actions in Lebanon following the collapse of a ceasefire weeks ago. On July 2, another Israeli airstrike in a civilian zone in Nabatieh injured two people, including a child. Furthermore, Israeli troops recently conducted a raid in the Al-Adisa area, targeting Hezbollah fighters. This pattern of conflict was also seen on June 28, when an Israeli drone strike in Kounine killed three people, including senior Hezbollah leader Hassan Hammoudi. These continuous strikes are fueling a volatile situation on the Israel-Lebanon border. #Israel #Lebanon #DroneStrike #Beirut #Khaldeh #IDF #QudsForce #Hezbollah #MiddleEast #BreakingNews #PressTV #UAVStrike #CivilianCasualties #Netanyahu #Iran #LebanonConflict #TerrorPlot #IDFStrike #BeirutBlast #SouthBeirut #Airstrike #IDFOperations #GazaWar #IsraelIran #ConflictZone #LiveFire #LebanonNews #DroneFootage #HezbollahTarget #StrikeAlert #CeasefireCollapse ~HT.318~ED.346~GR.122~

'Israel Will Get A Harder Slap': Iran Issues Deadliest Threat Yet To Israel After US Strikes

In its most chilling warning yet, Iran has vowed a far more devastating retaliation against Israel if aggression continues. Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi declared that Iran held back during its June 24 counterattack and did not unleash its full military capabilities. The warning comes after Israel’s June 13 assassination strike on top Iranian military and nuclear figures, followed by U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites. Speaking to Al-Mayadeen, Mousavi accused Israel and its allies of years-long plots against Iran and warned that any further provocation would be met with overwhelming force. #IsraelIranWar #IranVsIsrael #IranIsraelConflict #IsraelIranTensions #IranIsraelWarLive #IranIsrael2025 #IsraelVsIran #IranIsraelCrisis #MiddleEastWar #IranIsraelNews #IsraelIranUpdates #IranIsraelEscalation #TrumpIsraelIran #IranIsraelShowdown ~HT.410~PR.152~ED.194~

Trump’s GRAND SALUTE In Abu Dhabi: POTUS’ Tribute At Qasr Al Watan As Star-Spangled Banner Plays

During his state visit to the United Arab Emirates on May 15, 2025, President Donald Trump was honored with a grand ceremonial welcome at Abu Dhabi's presidential palace, Qasr Al Watan. Accompanied by UAE President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Trump was greeted by children waving U.S. and UAE flags and an honor guard that included camels. A highlight of the ceremony was a traditional Al-Ayyala performance, featuring women rhythmically flipping their hair in unison with drums and chants—a spectacle that drew attention, especially given Trump's reputation for his keen interest in his own hairstyle. #TrumpInUAE #AbuDhabiVisit #TrumpLive #AlNahyan #USUAERelations #TrumpAbuDhabi #MiddleEastDiplomacy #TrumpWelcome #UAEPolitics #USFlags #RoyalReception #TrumpNews #GulfTalks #DiplomaticVisit #TrumpInMiddleEast Also Read Kangana Ranaut Takes Jibe At Donald Trump, Later Deletes It - Says Did It On 'JP Nadda's Request' :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/kangana-ranaut-takes-jibe-at-donald-trump-says-deleted-post-on-jp-naddas-request-4154455.html?ref=DMDesc In Qatar, Donald Trump Once Again Claims He 'Helped Settle' India, Pakistan Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/in-qatar-donald-trump-once-again-claims-he-helped-settle-india-pakistan-tensions-4154237.html?ref=DMDesc Donald Trump Urges Apple CEO Not To Manufacture In India: 'Tim, We Are Treating You Really Good' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/donald-trump-urges-apple-ceo-not-to-manufacture-in-india-tim-we-are-treating-you-really-good-4154037.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.152~
