Shah defended her videos
According to local media reports, officials said that they have launched an inquiry into it. Meanwhile, Shah said that she had permission to get into the office and if the shooting video was against the rules and regulations, officials should not have allowed it. Shah also claimed that she also went to the National Assembly after getting a pass on her own and no security has ever stopped her.
Social media was not impressed by the video and questioned the prestige of national institutions. "People Like #HareemShah is in PM House. Now we all know the seriousness of this PTI Govt," a Twitter user said. "Tik Tok girl #HareemShah is not just roaming freely but also sitting on Prime Minister's Chair along with an Indian song at the background.. who has allowed her?? What are we doing to the prestige of respected national institutions? Is there no one to ask such people?" tweeted another user.
