Islamabad, October 8: The Pakistani government got trolled on social media after a train at Sukkur's Rohri station, located in Sindh, displayed "Los Angeles" as its destination. It could not be confirmed whether it was mistakenly flashed by the Railway officials, or social media users had mischievously photoshopped the image to evoke flak.

After social media users slammed the government for the embarrassing faux pas, Railway Minister Sheikh Rashid issued a response. Addressing the press, he said some malicious elements on Twitter and Facebook are attempting to defame the rail administration.

Some of the Twitter users also recalled Imran Khan's "Japan-Germany" border fiasco while speaking at a multilateral visit earlier this year. While referring about the shared industrial projects by France and Germany, Khan had ended up saying Germany and Japan -- the latter is located thousands of miles away in the East Asia.
