Punjab government mocked over Vladimir Putin posters

LAHORE: The Punjab government was put in an awkward position on Friday as authorities put up wrong banners across the city to welcome Tataristan’s President who is due to visit Pakistan.

The banners carried pictures of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif along with Russian President Vladimir Putin instead of Rustam Minnikhanov who begins his three-day visit on Friday (today).

The pictures of Russian strongman were removed after the local administration was mocked by social media users.
