PTV’s Gaffe: Imran Khan Shown Speaking from ‘Begging’, Not Beijing

The gaffe by the Pakistan’s state-run news channel PTV made it a target of trolling by netizens.

Pakistan's state-run news channel PTV was trolled by netizens for running "Begging" dateline instead of "Beijing" on the screen during a live broadcast of Prime Minister Imran Khan's speech in China.

Khan, who was on an official trip to China to secure financial support from Beijing for his cash-strapped country, was addressing a ceremony at the Central Party School (of the Communist Party of China) in Beijing on Sunday, 4 November, which was shown live by the Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV).

During the telecast of Khan's address on PTV, the location was misspelled from "Beijing" to "Begging" in the top left corner of the screen.
