Viral Video Shows Fist Fight Between Maldives Lawmakers Inside Parliament

Maldives is again trending on the internet. Earlier, Maldivian Ministers made unacceptable remarks against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and today its lawmakers disgusted Maldives' Parliament as they got engaged in a fist-fight inside the the house. A video is doing round the internet that shows ministers from the ruling alliance People's National Congress (PNC) and Progressive Party of Maldives (PPM), and a member of the Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) fighting like street fighters.

According to the reports, the incident happened before a crucial vote for President Mohamed Muizzu's cabinet.

The viral video shows MDP MP Isa and PNC MP Abdullah Shaheem Abdul Hakeem exchanging punches and kicks, according to the reports. Lawmaker Shaheem can be seen gripping Isa's leg, which made Isa fall on the ground. While Isa responded with back-to-back kicks to Shaheem's neck and pulling his hair.

Other members of the Maldives parliament swiftly intervened and tried to control the situation. However, the lawmakers were later taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention as they received a few minor injuries.

Relations Between India and Maldives:

Relationships between India and Maldives were affected majorly after the Island nation's three Ministers made disgraceful remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, earlier this month. However, those three ministers were sacked immediately by President Mohamed Muizzu. However, the incident led to a boycott of Maldives, one of the most favorite tourist destinations, from Indian worldwide, and a push to India's own Island Lakshadweep.

Following the incident, tourists in a massive number canceled their trips to the Island nation, which affected their economy majorly.
