In a letter to the Bhopal civic chief, a Madhya Pradesh minister said actor Raza Murad should be dropped as brand ambassador as his contribution in the field of cleanliness was not known.
Noted film actor Raza Murad was removed as brand ambassador of the Bhopal Municipal Corporation's 'swachhata abhiyan' on Friday on the order of Madhya Pradesh Urban Development Minister Bhupendra Singh, a day after the announcement of his appointment was made.
In a letter to the Bhopal civic chief, Mr Singh said Mr Murad should be dropped as brand ambassador as his contribution in the field of cleanliness was not known.
"A brand ambassador should be such a person who has contributed in a major way in the field of cleanliness or who is well-versed with Bhopal's culture. Therefore, the order in this regard should be cancelled with immediate effect. Instead, nominate a prestigious person/institution who has made noted contributions in the field of cleanliness," the minister's letter said.
However, Mr Murad told news agency PTI he was well-versed with the city as he had relatives hailing from here and had also completed his schooling in the state capital.
