Last week, India was caught in a blamegame after former Mauritius Telecom CEO Sherry Singh resigned, claiming that Jugnauth forced him to allow an \u201cIndian team\u201d access to a facility, with the aim of installing a \u201csniffing device\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While opposition parties in Mauritius have united against the government there, accusing Jugnauth of \u201chigh treason\u201d and seeking his resignation, India has continued to remain silent on the issue, choosing to align with PM Jugnauth\u2019s statements.<\/p>\n<p>During question hour in the Mauritian parliament Thursday, Jugnauth said: \u201cWe know that India has been assisting Mauritius all the way from our independence to help us develop our economy, uplift and modernise infrastructure, improve community facilities and enhance the quality of the lives of our citizens.<br \/>\nHe added, \u201cThis has been possible thanks to our special relationship and partnership with India which have been consolidated over time by this government. We should show gratitude towards India instead of casting suspicion over a genuine partnership. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>The PM was answering questions posed to him by leader of opposition Xavier Luc Duval on the Agalega Island and the presence of \u201cforeign military personnel\u201d there.<\/p>\n<p>Duval also asked the PM about the purported plan to station the Poseidon B737, an anti-submarine aircraft, there. Duval further said that he is not \u201ccasting suspicion\u201d on India, but on the PM.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, during Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s visit to the Indian Ocean island nation, India and Mauritius signed a bilateral agreement to develop sea and air linkages in the Agalega Island.<\/p>\n<p>While signing the agreement, the Ministry of External Affairs had said that developing Agalega Island will \u201cenhance the capabilities of the Mauritian Defence Forces in safeguarding their interests in the Outer Island\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>However, the move was seen as India\u2019s attempt to thwart challenges posed by China in the Indian Ocean as Beijing planned to expand its influence in the region by building ports across the maritime domain under a proposed \u2018String of Pearls\u2019 plan.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, the issue became controversial as some said India was basically building a military base in the Agalega Island to keep an eye on China under Modi\u2019s Indian Ocean vision of \u2018Security and Growth for All in the Region (SAGAR)\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, Jugnauth once again denied allegations of the island being transformed into a military base. The Mauritian PM also said that \u201ca confidentiality clause stipulates that the details of the agreement will not be made public.<\/p>\n<p>But the funding for this project is provided free of charge by the Indian government\u201d. External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said Thursday at a media briefing that the Mauritius government has responded, including at the level of the prime minister, on the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have any further information to share on this issue at this moment.<br \/>\nOn a meeting held by the External Affairs Ministry with Attorney General and the Minister of Agro Industry and Food Security of Mauritius, Maneesh Gobin, of Mauritius \u2014 while the snooping allegations were swirling \u2014 Bagchi said: \u201cI seem to recollect briefly that this meeting happened.<\/p>\n<p>This was part of the regular consultations. \u201d Snooping row, mystery around India\u2019s \u2018moustache man\u2019 deepen The Agalega project is not expected to take off before 2024, as specified by PM Jugnauth.<\/p>\n<p>However, opposition parties there have brought it back into the limelight owing to the growing snooping controversy and the mystery around the Indian \u201cmoustache man\u201d, believed to be the leader of the Indian technical team that went to Mauritius to access a highly sensitive internet landing station.<\/p>\n<p>The matter took another twist this week when it came to light that Lilram Deal, head of the counter-terrorism unit of Mauritius, was reportedly present during the visit of the team of technical experts from India.<\/p>\n<p>A L\u2019express report stated that some of the embassies in Mauritius, including the US embassy there, are \u201cfollowing this case very closely in order to better understand what happened and whether there has been a violation of freedom on the internet\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mauritius\">Mauritius<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
