Last week Belarusian president Alyaksandr Lukashenko reportedly asked his countrymen to ‘get undressed’ in a major incident of slip of tongue.
Addressing a public meet in capital Minsk, he said, “Innovations, IT-technologies, privatisation — it is all clear. We’ve conquered all of them. But everything is very simple, one should get undressed and work.”
According to reports, ‘the president instead of saying ‘’develop themselves’’ said ‘’get undressed’’ which has an almost same pronunciation in Russian.
This was some of the responses.
