Sindh governor’s son lands in hot water for filming TikTok videos at official residence

Sindh Governor Kamran Tessori’s son, Zahid Tessori, has landed in hot water for filming TikTok videos at official residence. These videos have sparked public outrage, criticizing the perceived misuse of government resources.

Filmed within the Governor’s official residence and during official events, the videos depict Zahid Tessori receiving assistance from official staff, who attend to him as if he were a dignitary. This includes managing vehicle doors and coordinating logistics, actions typically reserved for officials.

Particularly contentious are videos featuring Zahid Tessori alongside his father and foreign dignitaries, such as the Chinese Consul General, where official engagements appear to serve as backdrops for social media content.

The situation has rapidly gained traction on social media, making the governor’s son a trending topic. Critics argue that these actions exemplify broader issues of misusing public office and resources, highlighting a systemic problem of entitlement and privilege.

Platforms like Twitter and Facebook have seen users expressing dismay, citing these incidents as indicative of fiscal mismanagement and the inappropriate mixing of official duties with personal interests.

Here are some of the reactions:

It’s shameful that in Sindh, where people are dying from poverty, Governor Kamran Tessori’s son is using public money for TikTok videos. This is how Pakistan is being robbed… #GovernorKaBeta #pakistaniactor
