Expressing solidarity with India, Nishant Pitti utilized social media platform X to convey, “In support of our country, @EaseMyTrip has temporarily suspended all flight bookings to the Maldives.”

The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) has recently urged traders and exporters to abstain from engaging in business transactions with the Maldives. This call comes in response to offensive remarks made towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which have been deemed unacceptable by the business community. CAIT Secretary General Praveen Khandelwal emphasized that this boycott serves as a means to demonstrate solidarity and express disapproval against such disrespectful behavior.
