Controversial TikTok Star Hareem Shah has publicly stated her willingness to act as Pakistan’s caretaker Foreign Minister for a six-month period following the appointment of Senator Anwar ul-Haq Kakar from the Balochistan Awami Party (BAP) as the interim Prime Minister.
Taking the social media site X, formerly known as Twitter, she claimed that if appointed as Pakistan’s caretaker foreign minister for just six months, she would enhance the country’s foreign assets from $8 billion to $100 billion.
