Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli makes TikTok debut

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli now has an account on TikTok, a popular video-sharing social networking service.

The app is popular across all sections of people across the globe.

PM Oli's account @kpsharmaoli_official which has already been verified, has so far shared only one video.

TikTok was recently banned in India including 58 other Chinese apps alleging that they could compromise national security. Likewise, the app was under fire as 'trade war' between US-China advanced as the Americans claimed that China would forward user information with her intelligence agencies.

Meanwhile, reactions have been pouring on social networking sites over the PM joining the video sharing site.
