WATCH: Announcer asked PM Modi and Sheikh Hasina to ‘step down’ (literally), and left Twitterati laughing!

PM Narendra Modi and Bangladeshi PM Sheikh Hasina were present for a joint press conference at Hyderabad House. Strangely, the official was suddenly heard saying: “May I request the two prime ministers to step down.” Someone in the room realised the mistake and repeated it in shock. PM Modi too gestured to the official and asked, “Step down?” which led the conference room to break into a laughter.

Instead of asking both the leader to ‘step off’ the stage, the official managing the conference asked them to ‘step down’ — a term used when a leader is asked to resign. Hilarious, isn’t it? Watch the entire incident here.

The footage of the goof-up and the two leaders grinning at the gaffe was shared on various social media platforms and Netizens too could not stop LOL-ing! Of course, there were many politically-induced tweets… but overall, people appreciated that the prime ministers too laughed about the honest mistake.

Many users shared their views about the funny moment. Here’s what Twitterati had to say:
