If we really want to see the stupidity coming from India over anything, see below, a little off topic but quite funny.
Former Pak air chief in Indian govt advertisement - GEO.tv
NEW DELHI: The Indian government was left red-faced Sunday after a full-page advertisement it issued as part of a women's rights campaign included the photograph of a former Pakistan Air Force chief.
The newspaper advertisement issued by India's federal Ministry of Women and Child Development was aimed at raising public awareness of the killing of female foetus in the mother's womb.
"Where would you be if your mother was not allowed to be born?" the advertisement asks and alongside photographs of two famous Indian cricketers and Pakistan's former air chief marshal Tanvir Ahmed.
The Indian government quickly ordered a probe into the faux pas and the prime minister's office issued a public apology, "noting with regret the inclusion of a foreign national's photograph" in the government advert. An internal enquiry has been launched, it said.
The advertisement also included portraits of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Indias ruling United Progressive Alliance chairperson Sonia Gandhi and the federal Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath.
Government advertisements are routinely handed over to private creative agencies after which they are issued by the government's Directorate of Advertising and Visual Publicity. All advertisements are cleared by the respective ministries.
The opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was quick to voice its criticism as television channels played up the blunder.
"This is a very serious thing if our government officials and politicians do not know who our top military officials are," senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi said.
Women's rights activists said the focus of on the issue at the centre of the campaign was lost with the media highlighting the blunder.
