Aamir
Khan
suddenly
became
the
topic
of
discussion
on
Twitter
today
when
Amit
Malviya,
BJP's
IT
&
Digital
Communication
in-charge
tweeted,
"Aamir
Khan
removed
as
brand
ambassador
of
Incredible
#India."
This
lead
to
a
lot
of
people
debating
on
the
topic
on
social
networking
sites,
while
some
were
in
support,
many
tweeted
their
outrage!
But
contrary
to
rumours,
Bollywood
superstar
Aamir
Khan
is
still
the
brand
ambassador
of
Incredible
India,
the
government
said
on
Wednesday.
The
tourism
ministry
issued
the
clarification
following
reports
in
a
section
of
the
media
that
Aamir
had
been
removed
as
the
ambassador
of
the
campaign
aimed
at
promoting
tourism
in
the
country.
"In
response
to
certain
news
reports,
about
Aamir
Khan,
the
ministry
of
tourism
clarifies
there
is
no
change
in
the
stand
of
the
ministry
in
this
matter," the
statement
read.
The
ministry
said
it
had
a
contractual
agreement
with
creative
agency
McCann
Worldgroup
to
produce
a
social
awareness
campaign
and
this
featured
Aamir,
one
of
Bollywood's
most
popular
names.
The
actor-producer
came
under
criticism
in
November
after
his
comments
on
"growing
despondency" in
India.
