KTR, Telangana Minister for IT and Industries, is projecting handloom in state from last few days. He’s made an appeal to opposition & ruling party MLAs, public representatives, officials and other staff members to wear handloom clothes for at-least once in a week.
Pushing the campaign further, he took it to Twitter and tagged several film and sport celebs to turn up for the cause. Not so surprisingly, his tweet spread like a wildfire and many shored up the cause on Twitter and few folks responded with pictures of them wearing handloom clothes.
Interestingly, Universal hero Kamal Haasan who was tagged by KTR turned up for this cause and supported saying, “I also support handloom weavers. Have grown seeing my father wear nothing but handloom clothes, through his life (sic).” While the senior journalist Sardesai Rajdeep tweeted ‘Happy to support! #WearHandloom’, tennis star Sania Mirza and actor Rana also pitched for the campaign.
Apart from Kamal, Rana, Sania and Rajdeep, Mahesh Babu, Vivek Oberai, Nagarjuna, Lakshmi Manchu, Samantha Prabhu and PV Sindhu have also been nominated by the Minister to promote the initiative on social media. KTR’s plan to get support for the handloom weavers is getting admired by everyone and apparently, there’s enough boost coming from all quarters of people.
