In one of the biggest bloopers in recent times, Kerala Sports Minister EP Jayarajan has just claimed that legendary boxer Muhammed Ali was a Keralite.
Yes, he brought a gold medal for the state, recalls the minister!
"I just learned that Mohammed Ali breathed his last in America. He was a great sportsman of Kerala," EP Jayarajan, Kerala Minister
"I just learned that Mohammed Ali breathed his last in America. He was a great sportsman of Kerala. By winning a gold medal in sports, he flagged the fame of Kerala sky-high," said Kerala Sports Minister E P Jayarajan in a telephonic condolence message conveyed through Manorama News.
The news presenter was quick to disconnect the minister from the tele-in saving further embarrassment. But the ever-vigilant social media trollers were equally fast to pick up the funny blooper.
"Had the anchor not cut Minister short, he would have announced compensation for Ali's family and a government job for his widow," said one.
