A one-of-a-kind showcase that made TVF the ultimate winner of the night.

Ismail Umar khan : I am aware of the controversy and the action has been taken against the official, who made the racist and derogatory comments. Many Indians may not even know Maldives exists, but after this controversy, people will be aware of Maldives, because all these destinations are for the rich, whereas most of us are happy with our Indian beaches. As far as for me, Maldives was never on my cards. Let me first explore my country, rest can wait.

Charrul Malik : Indians contribute very significantly to the Maldives. Maldives economy totally depends on tourism and more than 25% of visitors are from India only. When they attack India it’s an attack against their own economy! It is very pleasing to see all the celebrities promoting India and tourism. This will only do better for the Indian economy and people. I have never been to either Maldives or Lakshadweep. I would love to go to Lakshadweep very soon. It’s on my bucket list. I really don’t get influenced by any controversy and don’t pass on judgments. But Apne Desh ke khilaf , hamare PM ke khilaaf koi ek word bhi galat bolega toh hum nahi sunenge aur waha of course hum nahi jayenge… come what may. (We will not listen to one word against our country or our prime minister.)

Rinku Ghosh : I think the entire world needs to learn from India, to be humble and modest. We have everything. From Mountain to sea, from snow to desert, from river to forest. India is complete. India doesn’t believe in putting someone down just to put oneself up. That is India. Most of Maldives tourism is from India. Those kinds of derogatory statements are not acceptable. I have not visited the Maldives. When we have Lakshadweep, why do we need to visit Maldives?

Lokit Phulwani : I believe that the freedom of expression should be exercised democratically and responsibly, and in ways that do not spread hatred, and negativity, and hinder close relationships especially between international partners. I have not got the opportunity to visit so far. India in itself is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world offering the best, be it mountains, desert or pristine beaches. I have plans to explore within before looking at anything outside.

Nikhil Nanda : Maldives has been a beautiful destination. I have visited it earlier, but considering the controversy that has been caused by the distasteful statements made by the minister there, I will re-think any plans of going there. Further promotion of Lakshadweep as an alternative to Maldives by honorable prime minister is commendable. I think the future is with Lakshadweep. I feel no Indian should ever visit Maldives anymore. We should only be creating an alternative of Maldives and luxury, in our own country.

Addressing a press conference in Bengaluru on Monday, spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said the drug haul was a matter of “grave concern” as it impacted every individual and was a threat to the national security, too. “It is a huge drug syndicate operating in the country. Seventeen days back, around 3,000 kg of heroin worth Rs 21,000 crore was seized in Gujarat’s Adani Mundra seaport. The heroin classified as semi-cut talcum powder was imported from Afghanistan by Visakhapatnam-based Aashi Trading Company.  The owners of the company – Sudhakar Machavaram and Govindaraj Vaishali, who paid a meagre Rs 4 lakh for the consignment – have been arrested. But the real owners of the consignment are still unknown. It is impossible to believe such a small company has imported such huge quantity of heroin,” Shrinate said, adding that it was not the first time that the Adani port had reported import of drugs.

“On June 9, 2021, the same company was involved in importing 25,000 kg of heroin into Gujarat from Afghanistan which was sent by M/s Hassan Hussain limited. The entire consignment of drugs has been distributed in India now. The Modi government had promised 14 crore jobs to our youth. But what they have been given is the white powder.”

Shrinate, who posed 10 questions to the Modi government, said, “Where is the outrage by the government or the media. Last year, there was massive outrage in the mainstream media and rightly so after two grams of drugs was found in Bollywood. All A-listers of Bollywood were put in the dock, named, shamed and brazenly accused without proof of being drug peddlers. And today, 3,000kg of heroin is seized and there is not a word about it.”

Expressing suspicion over the drug haul, the Congress leader asked, “Do you believe such a small trading company in Andhra Pradesh can bring in such huge consignment of drugs without official patronage at the highest office? You will be surprised to know that the Narcotics Control Bureau, the apex agency to clamp down on the drug cartels has not had a director-general for the last 18 months. Even the consignment in question was seized during a routine check by the department of revenue intelligence and not by any strategic search operation. So, at no level of the government, has there been a concerted effort to know who is bringing these drug consignments, where it is going or the fact that it is coming from Afghanistan which is now in the hands of the Taliban.”

Noting that the special court dealing with cases related to Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances in Bhuj had directed the DRI to investigate if the Adani port has profiteered from import of the consignment, Shrinate sought to know what the premier agencies like NCB, DRI, ED or the CBI were doing. “Will these agencies be used only to settle petty political scores and for toppling democratically elected governments? Isn’t this a matter of concern as the national security is threatened? Why is the government conspicuously silent over this issue? Why is there no probe against the Adani port despite the Bhuj court directions? Why has Gujarat become the preferred drug inroad into India? Why is the full-time position of an NCB director general lying vacant for so long? Why shouldn’t there be a probe by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court in a matter that could put the future of an entire generation in jeopardy?” she asked.

Anuradha Paudwal is selflessly devoting her time and energy to combat the crisis and trying to bring about a much needed change. Her acts to save water further inspires people to use water in responsible ways.

Anuradha Paudwal says “With the regular expanding weight of the human population, there has been a serious tension on water resources. There are various approaches to make your water to last. One simple yet often disregarded strategy to cut your water bill is to use your water twice. Unlike electricity, water can be reused over again and again. That’s the idea of water conservation.”

“People often ignore school and universities whereas those places should be of paramount importance. If only we will inculcate the habit to save water amongst the students, we will see a change in the future” adds Anuradha Paudwal.
