Doesnt the minister of culture know who the Prime Minister of New Zealand is? Especially when the Kiwi leader is on a trip to this country and was present at a meeting to talk about the tourism potential between the two countries.

Mahesh Sharma addressed John Key as His Excellency Prime Minister McCullum, betraying his inability to distinguish between him and the other guest, former New Zealand cricket skipper Brendon McCullum.

The Union minister of state for culture and tourism repeated the name at least twice during his address, attracting gasps from the audience.

New Zealands prime minister, of course, ignored the ministers gaffe saying that a direct flight between India and his country would be the next step to lift the number of tourists both ways.
