Earlier, amid criticism for allegedly ignoring the Taj Mahal in its tourism plans, Uttar Pradesh tourism minister Rita Bahuguna Joshi had said the monument was our cultural heritage. Her comments came after reports in some sections of the media said that the Taj Mahal — one of the seven wonders of the world — had been excluded in the latest booklet issued by the state tourism department. “Taj Mahal is our cultural heritage and occupies a place among the world’s famous tourist places,” the 68-year-old minister had said.
