Panaji (Goa): In a faux pas, the Goa government on Thursday released a media statement wishing people on the Teachers Day and mentioning the late Manohar Parrikar as the current chief minister.
A probe has been ordered in the matter. The Department of Information and Publicity, in the press statement issued in the evening, wished the people of Goa on the occasion of Teachers' Day.
The statement quoted the late Chief Minister Parrikar as wishing the people of the state on the occasion. "Goa CM Manohar Parrikar has wished to teach a class on 56th Teachers Day," the statement said and lauded the contribution of former President Sarvapalli Radhakrishnan to the country. Radhakrishnan's birthday is celebrated as Teachers' Day.
The message was circulated to the media.
