LIVE: Muizzu's Anti-India Move? Maldives Buys Drones From Turkiye | Vantage with Palki Sharma
The Maldives has reportedly bought Turkish surveillance drones to patrol its exclusive economic zone. This, as diplomatic tensions with India continue to simmer. Maldivian President Mohamed Muizzu had earlier called for strengthening the Maldives' ability to patrol its own waters. The $37 million worth defence deal was signed in 2023 when Muizzu visited Turkiye. Is this just another addition to his "India-out" campaign? Palki Sharma tells you more.

Maldive has every right to buy whatever it wants from any country. India has every right to deny aid to Maldives when it comes begging with a bowl.

@@mwambambaleasajilelucas3938Palki rarely criticizes BJP but she does do it at times. She is pro India and is always backed by facts.

Politicians will always scratch the hate wound that feels good but will end up bleeding 😊

[@abhishekrao2617]

​@@mwambambaleasajilelucas3938truth is always bitter and boring,no one likes,but if you have conscience then u can understand,if a country like India support a country like Maldives with all aids like humatarian support, drinking water facilities, supporting tourism,helping in health care facilities, provides goods and services then how can a country cheat a loyal friend like india,it's only bcoz religion is different in majority in both countries,this move can be very expensive for Maldives,moizzu is only responsible for that

[@fedorbutochnikow5312]

Totally agree, I'm taken aback by the Indian arrogance. Maldives is a sovereign nation state and it can do business with whoever it wants to. Indian authorities should ask themselves how come the Maldives doesn't want to cooperate with them anymore.

[@dreamriderx]

Maldives can do whatever they please. It's a sign for India to be cautious and careful. Make strategic amends to the policies towards Maldives and look for alternatives to safeguard it's waters and strategic routes. Ultimate goal for China seems to be building a base in Maldives and extend control on waters, perhaps surround their presence around India.

[@ssdhusg6042]

The expansion of India's maritime military power threatens China's maritime trade. What's wrong with building a military base. The United States has established hundreds of military bases around the world, but India has remained silent.

[@dollartreeshark6786]

landed Farmers struggles are not greater than landless labour struggles. Govt should stop stuffing money into farmers pockets unless it will do the same for landless labour. Pubjabi farmers are deploying their parents to protest, and then they go back to their fields. Govt should not buy any grain that it does not need.

[@ashokbansal3861]

One bad decision of the voters in deciding the political party or person to run the government may bring your native to hell like Haiti, Iraq , Pakistan or several other countries for example. So, it's the voter not the politician who decides fate. Politicians are like a mirror of the public. I do appeal to the people of India to decide wisely while voting in the 2024 general election. It would have been a different situation after COVID 19 if you hadn't chosen wisely. We are passing through a very difficult global situation amid two wars and a triangular cold war. So far we have not suffered from this but your decision will make the difference.

If the Australia follows the Italian tradition, why is them wine so bad , they produced wine like coca cola , too much , too fast , too much 😅sulfate in them grounds, initially the wine is tasty but after 30 minutes headaches appears , only Australians are capable to drink them own wine , better they can keep for them self 😅 I am sure that Italians don't have same problem even that they self them wine for 4 times more expensive that Australians , they sell absolutely every bottle 🍾, so the problem is the wine quality and the massive production...

Hi you told supreme court had instructed to Indian election commission to revert back on bondholders details by 15th march, you mean next year?

[@kp6215]

Can't verify them do not publish

[@user-zr9sv3zp4h]

UNDER THE LAW OF INDIA THE SUPREME COURT IS RIGHT ? THE SBI HAS TO OBEY THESE RULES OF SUPREME COURT OR MAKE THEM TO OBEY ? THE SUPREME COURT IS THE FINAL AUTHORITY OF GOVERNMENT OF INDIA TO MAKE HE INDIVIDUAL OF INDIA TO ABIDE BY THE LAW WHICH IS SET OR MADE TO SET ?

[@madking1980s]

It's ok the court said bond is unconstitutional, hence it should not be used again. But the issue I'm facing understanding is, why court need to put the donor names on ECI website, if court has to find out the names for some specific reason they can seek the information and keep the names hidden, and proceed with whatever they want to take out from this case. Now many will say why hiding names of donor is so important, what's wrong in sharing their names and donations, then my simple argument is, everyone knows most of the donations came from big houses like ambani adani jindal Tata and almost all nifty top 50, but once u disclosed the name who donated how much to whom, it will create revenge treatment after the results, let's assume if congress win (not possible) and they knew 5-6 houses paid huge donations to BJP or vice versa, those people will be marked, do u think they will let it go just like "oh no issue u doing what u feel right" I mean no one so lame to even think that way politicians let go things so easily. They'll be left away from govt contracts and face unnecessary inquiries, special audits and what not to harass them and simply show them who is the new boss or continued boss. Just for once think corporate donors as individual voters, and answer, is it right who voted for whom should be disclosed, because if that happen there will be feud in families too and if we don't go to local political, parties the best it is, as they will decide development based on which area, people, particular booth voters, voted for who and easily targeted, they'll be targeted by goon party workers and what not. So how right it is to put donor's name in public, at least court should ask individual you want to be disclosed or not, as in our culture donation is personal preference and any individual or entity can decide their anonymity. For me, it's not right by given argument.
