Last year, Priyanka Chopra came under attack for her 'silence' on the devastating floods that hit Assam, despite being the brand ambassador of the state.

Now, the actress is in the eye of a storm for her 'revealing' pictures on a calendar recently launched by the Assam Tourism Development Corporation, reports Guwahati Plus.

The picture of Priyanka Chopra that is in the centre of a controversy

During the Assembly session, members of the Congress party - Rupjyoti Kurmi (MLA from Mariani), Roseline Tirkey (MLA from Sarupathar), and Nandita Das (MLA from Boko) - demanded the removal of Priyanka as the brand ambassador of Assam, claiming that the pictures of her in 'minimal clothes' have sullied the culture of the state.

"The government should preserve the respect of the Assamese society. Frock is not an Assamese attire and the calendar pictures were not sober at all. The government should have known how to preserve the prestige of the Assamese society, instead they could have used the traditional mekhela chador. This is the reason we have protested against the calendar," Kurmi told TIME8.

However, Jayanta Malla Baruah, chairman of the Assam Tourism Development Corporation, has said that there is nothing objectionable about the Dostana actress's pictures in the calendar.

"The calendar was made to promote Assam internationally. It has also been sent to prominent international tour operators and dignitaries," he told Guwahati Plus, asking if the Congress members wanted them to use Priyanka Gandhi on the calendar, instead of Priyanka Chopra.

"Priyanka Chopra is an international figure and her presentation in the calendar has not diminished Assam's culture in any way," he added.

Last year, Priyanka Chopra found herself in the middle of a controversy for referring to Sikkim as 'insurgency-hit'.

On the work front, Priyanka has been busy filming for Quantico. The TV show, which is now in its third season will premiere on April 28. Apart from Quantico, she has two Hollywood films, A Kid Like Jake and Isn't It Romantic? in the pipeline.
