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.

Rijiju was called out for this, after which he deleted his post.
