Video: Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif's mic fiascos don't seem to end

Samarkand, Sep 16: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif's failed attempt to put headphone on his ear during the meeting with Russia's President Vladimir Putin in Uzbekistan turned into a major embarrassment for Pakistan on Thursday.

In the video shared on the Internet, one could see that the headphones kept falling off PM Sharif's ear. When he could not put on the device himself, he asked for help.

One of his aides put the device on his ear. But the device still fell within a few seconds. As the device kept on falling, President Putin could not control his laughter.

Then President Putin removed the device from his ear to show how to put it on PM Sharif's ear.

President Putin waited till the device was put on PM Sharif's ear.

PM Sharif's embarrassment drew him a lot of flak on social media. Former Pakistan PM Imran Khan's supporters criticised and said the incident was an embarrassment for the country at an international level.

This is the first in-person summit of the SCO in two years after the COVID outbreak. The 22nd SCO meeting is being attended by the leaders of eight member nations including Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
