This is the hilarious moment an Indian politician's trousers fell down during a campaign speech last week.

Umar Siddiqui, who is contesting for city council, in Jaspur, Uttarkhand, India, was addressing his followers on October 30.

Right in the middle of a fiery speech, his trousers slipped down to his knees, revealing his boxer shorts.

The embarrassing mishap was met by gales of laughter from the assembled crowd.

Remarkably unflustered, the popular politician handed over his mic for a moment, pulled up his trousers and then resumed his speech with a smile on his face.
