Swamy's tweet on invading Maldives not govt view: India

The External Affairs Ministry has clarified that BJP MP Subramanian Swamy's tweet that India should invade the Maldives in case of rigging in its presidential elections, was his personal opinion and not the government's view. Swamy's tweet came days after he met exiled former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed who he claimed was "apprehensive of gross rigging in their forthcoming election."
