Former president and former Speaker of Parliament, Mohamed Nasheed, has said the anon account 'Hassan Kurusee' on X has nothing to do with him or his daughter Meera Laila Nasheed.

Nasheed made the remarks while addressing the posts made by 'Hassan Kurusee' account in the wake of the ongoing issue between India and Maldives, after some Indian accounts accused Nasheed and his daughter of running the anon account.

Nasheed said his daughter does not run the account or share the opinions posted by that account.

Several Indian accounts on X have accused Meera of running 'Hassan Kurusee' account and have made derogatory remarks towards her.

The issue began after Indian PM Modi posted videos of his visit to Lakshadweep, promoting tourism in the Indian Union Territory island. This was met with criticism from some Maldivians who called it an indirect campaign against Maldives. Some Indian accounts also published reports implying the latter as well.

The issue reached a boiling point following derogatory remarks at PM Modi by some deputy ministers at Youth Ministry, since when Indian citizens have begun a boycott campaign against Maldives.

Some travel agencies have cancelled their bookings to Maldives in the wake of the remarks.
