ISLAMABAD – Bringing utter shame to the office of the prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani’s media managers on Friday issued a greeting message for his Bangladeshi counterpart on her country’s national day calling it the Independence Day.
The level of the knowledge of the prime minister’s media managers was clearly evident from the fact that they did not know that it was Bangladesh’s National Day on March 26 and not Independence Day. The headline of the press release issued by the PM House’s media office read ‘PM’s greets his Bangladeshi counterpart on Independence Day.’
It not only speaks volumes of the prime minister’s media team’s knowledge of the international affairs, but also exposes their seriousness and professionalism in handling sensitive matters.
Surprisingly, the prime minister also appears satisfied with the knowledge of his media managers and appreciates their command over the English language by judging them fit to handle their job.
