Amitabh Bachchan comes out in support of PM Narendra Modi in the Lakshwadeep-Maldives row: ‘This is so relevant’

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative to promote tourism at Lakshwadeep, along with his photos from the beaches (not to mention the memes) have created a huge stir on the internet. This led to three ministers from Maldvies take to social media and pass derogatory remarks against India. Maldives has suspended these three ministers over these remarks. Amidst this Maldives-Lakshwadeep row, sevaral Bollywood celebs came out in support of our country’s beauty, Lakshwadeep Island and PM Modi’s initiative.From Akshay Kumar to Shraddha Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, many celebs spoke about it.

Now Amitabh Bachchan has also spoken about the beauty of Lakshwadeep in a tweet. He reshared a tweet by cricketer Virendra Sehwag which read, “Whether it be the beautiful beaches of Udupi , Paradise Beach in Pondi, Neil and Havelock in Andaman, and many other beautiful beaches throughout our country, there are so many unexplored places in Bharat which have so much potential with some infrastructure support.

Bharat is knowing for converting all Aapda into Avsar, and this dig at our country and our Prime Minister by Maldives ministers is a great Avsar for Bharat to create just the necessary infrastructure to make them attractive to tourists and boost our economy. Please do name your favourite unexplored beautiful places.”

Bachchan quoted Sehwag’s tweet and said that this is quite relevant and the experience of Lakshwadeep is unbelieavable. He wrote, “Viru paji .. this is so relevant and in the right spirit of our land .. our own are the very best .. I have been to Lakshadweep and Andamans and they are such astonishingly beautiful locations .. stunning waters beaches and the underwater experience is simply unbelievable .. हम भारत हैं , हम आत्मनिर्भर हैं , हमारी आत्मनिर्भरता पे आँच मत डालिये जय हिन्द 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 @virendersehwag”

Fans loved this tweet by Bachchan and felt that now that Big B has said this, “lakshwadeep aur Andaman jaane walo ki line lag jaayegi,” referring to Bachchan’s iconic film dialogue, “Hum jahan khade hote hai, line wahin se shuru hoti hai.”
