Sri Lankan born first Canadian Tamil MP, Rathika Sitsabaiesan, 29, is at the centre of an embarrassing Photoshop controversy after authorities apparently deemed her cleavage too hot to handle, the Mail online reported.
According to political blog Contrarian, an enterprising reader performed an image search for Sitsabaiesan and came across the thumbnail.
But when the reader clicked through to Sitsabaiesan’s official Parliamentary profile, he found a modified version of the headshot, which had been retouched to edit out her feminine curves.
Canada’s conservative politicos apparently decided that the photo was inappropriate for a workplace as formal as Parliament.
But critics argue that the alteration was anti-feminist, and that the cleavage was removed to make Sitsabaiesan appear less womanly.
It was not known if the cropping was requested by her party, her own office, or on the Parliamentary website’s own authority.
