In a landmark parliamentary address on Monday, Maldives President Muizzu claimed that India had agreed to withdraw its troops from the archipelago nation, heightening the ongoing tensions between the two countries. Notably, Muizzu reiterated his anti-India stance, emphasizing non-interference and sovereignty. This development led to a significant boycott, with only 24 out of 80 MPs present during Muizzu's address, marking the largest in Maldivian history.

Muizzu stated that India's commitment to troop withdrawal was reached during a recent meeting in New Delhi. Maldivian Foreign Ministry's statement outlined a common withdrawal date, starting on March 10 and completing by May 10, covering all three aviation platforms. However, India's response differed, focusing on solutions for the continued operation of aviation platforms providing humanitarian services.

Approximately 80 Indian military personnel, primarily operating helicopters and aircraft for humanitarian missions, are currently stationed in the Maldives. Tensions heightened following controversial remarks by Maldivian ministers, including Deputy Minister Mariyam Shiuna, who labeled Prime Minister Narendra Modi a 'clown' and a 'puppet of Israel' on social media.

The diplomatic fallout prompted a clarification from the Maldives, disassociating the government from the ministers' remarks and suspending three of them. India responded by discussing the matter with the Maldives envoy in New Delhi. The crisis underscores the fragility of India-Maldives relations, emphasizing the need for diplomatic resolution amid geopolitical complexities.
