PTV has Imran Khan ‘Begging’ in spelling slipup

[Champion_Usmani]

In an ironic gaffe spreading on social media, PTV broadcasted a speech by Prime Minister Imran Khan was giving in Beijing with the dateline “Begging.”

The PM was addressing an event at the Central Party School in Beijing which PTV was broadcasting live. In the top left corner of the screen where it says the location of the event being broadcast the screen read “begging.” While the ticker describing the event got the spellings of Beijing right in Urdu, the word misspelled in English has resulted in an embarrassing moment for PTV.

The gaffe is made particularly ironic since PM Khan is on a mission to secure a package from China to try and stall the impending economic crisis the country is facing.

The Prime Minister has reduced received backlash from his opponents over his ‘U-turns’ since he was a vocal opponent of ‘begging’ other countries before assuming office.

Now, with the PM going country to country negotiating bailout packages and even having to contend with the IMF, the mistake is made all the more ironic. Whether this is a simple case of a silly mistake or some disgruntled PTV employee pulling a prank is yet to be determined.

Later, PTV also issued a statement referringr the error but did not clarify what kind of mistake it was. The national television channel has promised to initiate an inquiry into the incident.

I'm sure, PTI will find some non compliant bureaucrat behind such an embarrassing but ironic gaffe.
Hope this time IK will terminate PTV bureaucrats during office hours.

Disgracefull. This isn’t a “typo”. It was deliberately done.
