India-Maldives News: Is there any danger to India due to the proximity of Maldives and China? This question is being raised by the statement of Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. The Congress leader has alerted the Modi government regarding the closeness of Maldives and China. Shashi Tharoor has said that the government should be cautious about Maldives' proximity to China and the government should be aware of the danger it poses.

Shashi Tharoor was speaking at a program on the Maldives-India diplomatic dispute after PM Narendra Modi's visit to Lakshadweep. He says that after the latest dispute, China is now trying to increase its influence on India's border. We have to keep a close eye on the growing closeness of the Maldivian government to China.

Shashi Tharoor, who was the Minister of State for External Affairs in the Manmohan Singh government, said, there is no doubt that China is trying to rapidly increase its influence in all our neighboring countries. The central government should be aware of such dangers.”

What is the threat to India from the proximity of Maldives and China?

Actually, China wants to increase its power in the Indian Ocean. For this he needs Maldives. When a new government was formed in Maldives, China's efforts got further strength, because the new President of Maldives Mohammad Muizzoo is a supporter of China. Due to the latest dispute with India, the closeness between Maldives and China has started increasing. Recently Mohammad Muizzu visited China and after meeting President Xi Jinping, both the countries signed 20 agreements including travel and maritime economy.

India is most at risk from deeper relations between the two countries. China now wants to build its military base in Maldives, which will pose a threat to India's security. On the other hand, now the Maldives government has given the Indian government a deadline for the withdrawal of Indian troops from Maldives. The Maldives government believes that the presence of Indian troops in the country is a threat to national security and sovereignty. If the Indian Army returns from Maldives, China's efforts to build a military base will directly benefit from it. There are 88 Indian soldiers in Maldives.

Muizzu attacked India as soon as he returned from China

Let us tell you that after returning from China tour, President Muizzu's attitude changed. In a press conference on Saturday, without taking the name of India, he said, we may be a small country, but that does not give license to anyone to threaten us. No country has the right to influence the domestic affairs of any other country. We are an independent and sovereign nation. Muizzu has also announced plans to reduce Maldives' dependence on India.
