New Delhi, January 24: Women and Child Development Minister Krishna Tirath tonight apologised on behalf of her ministry for publishing a photograph of a former Pakistan Air Force chief in a government advertisement and said an inquiry will bring out who was responsible for it.
“Whatever happened was a mistake. Somewhere something went wrong. I regret it. I apologise for it on behalf my ministry,” Tirath told reporters on the sidelines of a function to mark the National Girl Child Day.
She said one has to be alert and cautious in future.
The idea behind the advertisement was to inspire people to have girl child, Tirath said, adding that an inquiry will bring out as to who was responsible for the mistake in the ad, since multi-level agencies were involved in its printing.
