Comedy of errors: When two PMs were asked to “step down”

A rather funny incident took place inside the Hyderabad House during the joint address of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bangladesh counterpart Sheikh Hasina this Saturday. Just when the duo finished with their speeches, the announcers asked them to ‘step down’. All, including the prime ministers burst into laughter as the announcer missed saying ‘podium’ or ‘stage’ in his statement. Presently, PM Hasina is on a four-day visit to India.
