The President of Pakistan Dr Arif Alvi has joined the popular video-sharing platform TikTok, he confirmed via his official Instagram account.
The president uploaded a video of himself on Twitter to make the announcement and wrote that the purpose of him joining the app is to spread the message of positivity among the youth of Pakistan.
"To spread the message of positivity & motivation for the youth of Pakistan, we will keep pushing inspiring videos for the TikTok users," he wrote.
It should be recalled that earlier this month, the Sindh High Court had suspended the app. The decision was later reversed.
During the hearing, the petitioner's lawyer seeking a ban on the app had said that the Peshawar High Court had earlier banned TikTok too as some videos uploaded on the platform are "immoral and against the teachings of Islam."
The lawyer had said his client had approached the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) before moving the court, however, the PTA did not do anything in this regard.
