Participants, especially women, had an awkward moment when an obscene video was mistakenly played during a seminar in Lahore.
The seminar was organised by the Global New Initiatives of Dengue and Situation in Pakistan at the Institute of Public Health where provincial minister Javed Akram was also present on Friday. A large number of women participants were also at the event.
Some participants said that the video was played a few minutes after Akram left. Speakers joined the seminar via Zoom link. They added that the obscene video kept on playing for two minutes as the administration failed to remove it.
