Tirath said the DAVP looks at advertisements "minutely"
before releasing. At the same time, she said no name was
mentioned with the photo of the former PAF chief.
"It was a photo of an officer in uniform and no name was
mentioned," she said indicating that it was issued by mistake.
The mix-up, probably at the Ministry's end, made the IAF
go livid, with senior officers saying that the use of the PAF
officer's picture was a "big embarrassment".
"I do not know why they have used the former PAF chief's
picture. If they had wanted to use the photo of the IAF chief
Air Chief Marshal P V Naik, all they needed to do was ask for
one from the Air Headquarters," a senior IAF officer told PTI.
"This is a big embarrassment not only for the WCD
Ministry, but also to the IAF. Nowhere do such goof-ups
happen," the IAF officer, who did not want to be named, said.
Ahmed had retired from PAF on March 18, 2009.
Meanwhile, officials said that the publicity material for
the National Girl Child Day was released by the WCD Ministry
through the DAVP after the direct approval and clearance from
Minister of State Tirath, whose staff had prepared the text
and images for the advertisement. (More) PTI
