Don't use my picture without my permission: Mehbooba Mufti asks officials

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday asked officials not to use her pictures at government functions without her prior permission.

"You should not use my pictures especially without my permission. Please do not do it. I am telling everyone that you should not use my pictures outside hospitals or any other places," Mehbooba said.

She was addressing a gathering after inaugurating a book-cum-coffee shop at Nehru Park in the middle of the famous Dal Lake in Srinagar where her pictures were put up by the Tourism and other departments and organisations. She especially asked the state Tourism Department to do away with the practice.

"The tourism department especially should not do it and not without my permission. They should not use my pictures, I do not want my picture anywhere. Please note this," she said.

The Chief Minister also holds Tourism portfolio.
