A Maldivian MP has accused India of “bullying” after he was reportedly denied entry into the country.
Ahmed Nihan from the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives said he had travelled to Chennai on Monday for medical reasons but was refused entry after enquiries about his diplomatic passport.
“This is bullying,” Nihan was quoted as saying by the Maldives Times. “If this is the implementation of a policy by neighbouring India, it does not make any sense,” he said.
