No reason has been given by the government to remove the official, however, the decision to remove Mohamedi was taken two days after the state-run television made a blunder when Prime Minister Imran Khan addressing a ceremony in Beijing during his first official visit to China.
During the speech, PTV had written: “Begging” on the screen instead of “Beijing” in what the administration called a mistake.

The word remained on screen for 20 seconds and was then changed.
Later, the state broadcaster has issued a formal apology for their caption.
