The social media team of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was on the receiving end of online jokes after it streamed a press conference – of provincial ministers – on Facebook with the ‘cat’ filter enabled.

A user viewing the live stream pointed out the error and the admins of the page to “turn of the cat filter as the minister had turned into a cat”.

A screenshot of the gaffe went viral on Twitter and Facebook and reactions poured in.

The statement added, "Yesterday, whilst covering a press briefing held by KP's information minister Shoukat Yousafzai, a cat filter was witnessed by the viewers which was removed within few minutes."

Calling it a human error, PTI shared necessary actions have been taken to avoid such incidents in the future.
