Pashto singer Gul Panra’s dance video goes viral

A TikTok video of famous Pashto singer Gul Panra in the bungalow of the deputy commissioner Khyber tribal district has taken the internet by storm.

The viral video has received a mixed reaction from the public, with some supporting her for promoting local tourism and peace, while others are criticising her for uploading dance video against local traditions.

A statement issued from the deputy commissioner's office stated that the district administration has nothing to do with the TikTok video of Gul Panra which has been made at the DC's bungalow in Landikotal.

It said the matter will be probed as to how a family entered the official residence of the officer and then made a TikTok video.

The statement said no permission was taken from the DC for the video and the matter wasn't brought before the assistant commissioner either.

The statement further said it was a private family visit of Gul Panra, therefore, no question of official protocol arises.

The deputy commissioner said all guests are welcome, but entering a government building without permission and then making TikTok videos cannot be allowed.

He said action will be taken against those found involved in the incident.
