In order for the presenter to avoid this embarrassing situation, she promised to call him back later and move to another speaker in the program.
As a result, the guests of the program in the studio could not help themselves from laughing. Clips showing this have been circulated on social media. While no comment was issued by the minister himself after this situation.
