Move follows censure by Madurai MP for ‘misrepresenting Tamil Nadu’
Hours after Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan censured Airport Authorities of India for featuring a photograph of Adiyogi (Siva) statue of Isha Foundation, Coimbatore, on its State-wise quarantine guidelines for COVID, as a pictorial representation for Tamil Nadu, the photograph was replaced with that of famous Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple of Madurai. Upon finding it in the online social media platforms, Mr. Venkatesan had expressed his displeasure over using the picture of a statue as representative image of Tamil Nadu. “We cannot view such practices as an ordinary issue. While AAI had used the photograph of heritage sites/cities of other States, why should it use Adiyogi statue for Tamil Nadu. Does it represent the State?” Mr. Venkatesan asked.
