Totally agreed. It's not only waste of time but it's distracting our youth from their main goals.

The Mazar-e-Quaid’s administration on Tuesday decided to approach the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) for the removal of the viral video.

“The matter is being investigated,” said a member of the security team of Mazar-e-Quaid. “Mausoleum’s management has decided to request the FIA to remove the content on social media and investigate the matter as well.”

Residents of the port city had protested after watching the TikTok video of the girl dressed in white clothes dancing in the vicinity of the shrine.

They say that the incident has tarnished the sanctity of the historic place.
