Lahore (Pakistan): Pakistan’s Airport Security Force (ASF) on Sunday suspended one of its female employees after she posted a video of herself dancing on Indian singer Guru Randhawa‘s High-Rated Gabru song. The video which went viral on social media showed the girl wearing a cap with Pakistan’s national flag and lip-synching the song.
Not just the suspension, the ASF also stopped her allowances for two years, the TV reports said. The investigation reports said that the video is three months old. The reports also have it that the ASF has barred its other employees from using social media. The woman belongs to Sialkot in Pakistan.
The ASF was however severely slammed by the Twitterati who asked if the woman’s dance on a song was a “criminal act”.
What is so inappropriate about this video ? How/Why does this qualify as a criminal act ? Get a life #ASF https://t.co/J6DBqYTGMk

Showing solidarity with lady officer of #ASF for her viral video just because she is a lady doesn’t justify her misconduct. Women have good discipline in every force. She can be an exemplary too, and for that reason, inquiry and it’s consequences are a must
