Congress MP Shashi Tharoor expressed concern, stating, "We should certainly be alert about the proximity of the Maldives to China." At the 54th annual day of 'Thuglak' magazine, he emphasized the need for India's awareness, citing China's attempts to expand influence in India's periphery. Tharoor acknowledged the right of nations to establish relations but underscored, "Some things we would see as a serious concern for our interests." Reflecting on the recent India-Maldives diplomatic row, he stressed a serious level of engagement and urged, "India's foreign policy should not be discussed on social media." Tharoor also emphasized respecting the sensitivities of smaller neighbors in diplomatic matters.
