‘Doctored’ tweet ridiculed
Print Edition
INDIA’S government has faced mockery on social media for tweeting an apparently doctored photo of its prime minister surveying the flood-hit southern state of Tamil Nadu.
Narendra Modi tweeted an image of himself looking out of a helicopter window as he flew over the area on Thursday, saying he was “pained by the devastation” he had seen.
The scene through the window was barely visible, but when the government’s press department later tweeted what appeared to be the same image, the view through the window clearly showed flooding.
“Very silly of @PIB-India to photo-shop @PMOIndia aerial survey of Chennai,” tweeted Prashanth Rao, referring to the state capital.
“Worst photoshop ever!” tweeted Wilbur Sargunaraj. “Why does our PM need false and exaggerated propaganda???”
