In a rush to promote Lakshadweep, celebs post pictures of other islands

IndiaTimes Monday, 8 January 2024
In the rush to promote Indian beach holidays instead of foreign shores like Maldives, at least a few Indian celebrities and a minister had to eat humble pie on social media when they erroneously posted images of Maldives believing them to be of Lakshadweep. Among those called out for promoting Maldives while pitching for Lakshadweep was Union minister Kiren Rijiju who posted two pictures asking domestic tourists to explore Indian islands. Rijiju was called out for this, after which he deleted his post.
