Calls for ban of the app have been increased especially because of the recent controversies surrounding the TikTok star Hareem Shah and her friend Sundal Khattak.

The story behind Hareem Shah and Sundal Khattak and the reason why people are asking to ban TikTok.

It all started a few months back when Hareem Shah made a video on the app inside Pakistan’s Foreign Office which angered people.

People considered it wrong and everyone asked how she even got inside to make such videos. This was basically the start of controversies surrounding Hareem Shah and her friend Sundal Khattak.

Not long after that a video call was leaked involving Hareem Shah, her friend Sunal Khattak and Pakistan’s Railway Minister Sheikh Rasheed where the the two TikTok stars accused the minister of being inappropriate with them over video call.

Not long after this another call surfaced where Shah was talking to another Pakistani politician, Fayyaz ul Hassan, who is the Minister for Information in Punjab. The call continued with controversies surrounding the two friends.

Later, CNIC and passports of the two friends were leaked online that showed the both of them using made up names and their actual names were different.

Hareem Shah was also the topic of an argument between Mubashar Lucman, a senior journalist and Fawad Chaudhry where Fawad ended up slapping lucman at a wedding ceremony they were attending.

Both of them later went to Dubai, maybe to escape the heat and attention they were getting in Pakistan but things did not stop there as both ended up being deported from Dubai after a video of them surfaced with a Sheikh and other important personalities.

Now just two days ago she started trending on Twitter with #HareemShah and people were posting a picture of her with Mufti Abdul Qawi, a cleric who was nominated in the murder case of Qandeel Baloch.
