Pakistani President Arif Alvi appeared on TikTok

Pakistani President Dr. Arif Alvi has joined the popular video-sharing platform TikTok, which he confirmed through his official Instagram account.

The president uploaded his own video on Twitter to announce the news and wrote that his purpose of joining the app was to spread a positive message among Pakistani youth.

He wrote: “In order to spread positive and motivational messages to Pakistani youths, we will continue to push inspiring videos to TikTok users.”

It should be remembered that the Sindh High Court suspended the application earlier this month. The decision was later revoked.

At the hearing, the petitioner’s lawyer who sought to ban the app had stated that the Peshawar High Court had earlier banned TikTok because some videos uploaded on the platform were “immoral and contrary to Islamic teachings”.

The lawyer has stated that his client had contacted the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) before moving the court, but PTA did not do anything in this regard.

Favard Grand Slam Ban

After the SHC banned the app, Fawad Chaudhry, the Minister of Information, slammed the decision to ban TikTok from spreading across Pakistan before July 8, calling it “judicial radicalism.”

Chowdhury warned on Twitter that if judicial reforms are not carried out, Pakistan will face the consequences.

“If there is no judicial reform, Pakistan will never get out of the economic crisis,” he said on Twitter.

“After reading yesterday’s judgment on the suspension of TikTok and the removal of the president of NBP, I was confused and couldn’t help wondering: What is our court doing?” the Minister of Information asked.

Chowdhury pointed out that Pakistan has suffered losses worth billions of dollars due to “judicial radicalism.”
