Xi left India on Friday after a visit to boost trade and economic ties that have been marred by a longstanding border dispute. The blooper occurred on Doordarshan News on Wednesday.
"It is an unpardonable mistake," the official said. "We have debarred her from newsreading for a few months." The official said the anchor had been employed on a casual basis, after a shortage of newsreaders forced the channel to run some news bulletins with casuals.
The incident comes at a time when Doordarshan News is trying to reinvent itself to compete with private broadcasters. Its programmes are often a matter of public ridicule for their poor production quality.

Reminds me of the time, several years ago now, when I went into a Barnes & Noble and casually mentioned, at the help desk, that you never see any biographies of Malcolms one through nine (I thru IX).
The clerk there actually began checking his inventory records.

Heh heh!
That was actually quite funny. I wasn't expecting to laugh.
ALERT! My ZoneAlarm anti-virus has flagged the www.defend.ht link in the previous message as hazardous.
Just so all know.

There are some bastards about.
I've deleted the comment.
