KVIC NOT VIOLATED ANY NORMS BY USING PM’S PIC: GOVT

NEW DELHI: The government on Wednesday said KVIC did not violate any norms by using Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s photograph on its diary and calendar and the use of Mahatma Gandhi’s picture was never an established policy. Elaborating, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said that on the past six occasions (during the years 1996, 2002, 2005, 2011, 2013 & 2016), the cover page of the KVIC Diary did not carry the photograph of Mahatma Gandhiji.
