"It's not your duty:" Ata Tarar slammed for recording PM Shehbaz's video during Iran visit

A video has gone viral on social media, in which Information Minister Attaullah Tarar was seen recording a video of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif upon his arrival in Iran to offer condolences on Ebrahim Raisi's death.

A day earlier, the premier attended the memorial ceremony of late Iranian president Raisi and his entourage, who were killed in a helicopter crash on Sunday.

Iranian Minister for Roads and Urban Development Mehrdad Bazrpash received the prime minister on his arrival at the Tehran International Airport.

The prime minister was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, Commerce Minister Jam Kamal Khan and Information Minister Attaullah Tarar.

However, the Information Minister was seen performing the duties of a cameraman during the visit.

What a shame for Pakistan 💔
It is unfortunate that the person running around making videos of those arriving in Iran for Fatiha is not a TikToker, but Pakistan's Federal Minister for Information, Atta Tarar.
