Tik tok is an app very popular amongst the youth of our country, and the lengths to which people go just for the sake of going viral has killed many. Hareem Shah, a tik tok star who currently sits at 1.5M followers has been trending on Twitter for a video that went viral:
Whoever allowed this to be filmed inside the main meeting roo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would be quite foolish to think that the clip wouldn't make it to social media – and end up in massive criticism of the government pic.twitter.com/lrzdh6xsAl

The video showed her taking rounds of the committee room with Indian songs in the background…
It was initially being said that the video was from the PM House, however it was later revealed that the video was from the committee room at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And the internet is absolutely furious!

People were also speaking from their personal experience about the protocol and security:

Many demanded that Hareem be tried in a criminal court:
The #TikTok star #HareemShah should hv been trialed under the criminal charges of crossing her limits and accessing the chair of Prime Minister of Pakistan, illegally. It's a matter of protocols and code of conduct. All the involved in that should have been brought to answerable.

People were angry on no action being taken:
1. Ordinary makes video in uniform? Its a problem.
2. They make video without uniform? Still problem.
3. They sit on chair of DC Charsadda? Huge problem.
4. Hareem Shah makes video in top federal office? No problem!#HareemShah pic.twitter.com/FPEcCNsjXy

In an interview on a news channel Hareem revealed that no one really stopped her from recording there:
Hareem Shah tells GNN TV that she did not do anything anti-Pakistan in her video filmed inside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
The anchor responds by saying ordinary Pakistanis don't have access to the Ministry to which Ms Shah says that the Ministry is there for all Pakistanis pic.twitter.com/65W3rYNfBm

And while many were bashing her to the core, a few were actually defending her:
It’s not like she got access to nuclear codes. People have too much hatred and free time. #HareemShah
