A slice of history has triggered a hiccup in Goa Tourism ministry's social media campaign, after the government agency was forced to withdraw a tweet which referred to the Maratha army's military campaign against Portuguese-held Goa as "an act of invasion".

After Leader of Opposition on Friday Digambar Kamat flagged the issue, Goa Tourism was forced to withdraw the tweet referring to Shivaji's invasion of the state, calling it as an "erroneous reference".
