Penalizing is not a solution. She should be terminated from service, as her act and conduct was not consistent with the Civil Servants.

lol this isnt uproar if few like them tweet, ASF did good. Its her fault

Why are some people claiming she is in uniform? Do female ASF officers have sleeveless uniform? How pathetic!

ASF did nothing wrong. ASF is her employer and I’m sure when she got the job she had signed punch of paperwork including ASF code of of conduct.

Of course her employer can reprimand her. She has, according to them, brought the organisation into disrepute. Obviously no law has been broken but she is in breach of contract with her employer. I operated similar social media policies when I ran a medium sized operation in the UK.

What is the issue since she was not doing it while on duty??? In case the lady has interest in music or acting then that is her right and her personal choice . In case she has a good talent then lets hope she gets a chance with some good TV show as well..

Absurd! what are they punishing her for?! Injustice!

Her personal time is her personal time, she has a right to live her life.

This girl should be work in dramas or do modeling. Forget backward ASF; clearly not meant for her.

Rules and regulations, all need to abide by those.

Pervez Musharaf Rashid Qureshi danced in full uniform. Many videos. Recent dance of PK army and Indian Army both in uniform. No cry but appriviated. Discipline??????

Crazy but cute !!!!

I have full support for her, moral policing is not acceptable

Welcome to Pakistan.

Is she working for ASF or is she a slave ? What kind of attitude ASF has for its employees.

I would not have problem if she would have done in decent worn cloths. That is all the problem.

Well atleast she is showing the Pakistani flag side of the cap and she means she is patriotic, why poke in her personal life... very strange.

She is independent to do what so ever her freedom of expression allows her in an eastern society with the latest mode of equipment available for the social media at hand.She is a human and her job is only economic support to her livings. Her job has nothing to interfere in her personal activities of her private life.She is energetic and has used the media to express her opinion, not a crime in 21 century of media games.

I don't see social media in uproar. I and many other social media users support ASF's decision as her actions were against their rule of conduct.

As an employee of the ASF, she has every right to challenge this arbitrarily taken decision. Under E&D rules, all employees are to be proceeded against in case of misconduct defined therein as per set procedure. The question remains to be answered that is the procedure is followed or not? Even this is not the end of world, she has other options to go into appeal against the decision to the appellate board within ASF and failing to find relief go to court. All this emotional hue and cry by all not conversant with rules of conduct of a supposedly security agency of the country, being unsubstantiated and unfortunate should be avoided. For sure this publicity would be an irritant to those involved in her appeal etc. who would have taken a softer view of the incident and prove to be totally unhelpful in her case in the long run.

What did she do? Just sang a song in her time. How is THAT a crime? Whoever punished her should be fired. Pakistan is NOT a Fundamentalist state.

Did you see the indian Pak soldiers dancing to indian tunes in Russia. A blanket ban on social media is uncalled for. What people do during their free time is not ASFs business. An to say she was is uniform is absurd too . So what ASF women has started wearing sleeveless dress or what. A young girl who wanted some fun posted a video and the patriarchal top brass made her an example. Every one in force uses social media its just that they don't post it so often.

What about the men in Uniform of both countries, India and Pakistan dancing together to Bollywood songs after their joint drill in Russia?

The penalty is a bit to harsh for this. Nobody died or got affected by her singing. Perhaps a warning would have been sufficient. We are becoming too intolerant of too many things.

Alot of people are missing the point. Her job contract or any ASF employee's for that matter states they CANNOT USE SOCIAL MEDIA etc etc ........ when she was hired, she signed that contract and agreed to abide by it. If she thought it was unjustified in any way, she could have refused to sign it.

If it accounts for a breach of conduct in regards to the ASF code. Then ASF is with in its rights to penalise this lady. All the security forces generally have very strict policies when it comes to social media. However this should not have made headlined.

A symbolic six month penalty would have been enough to discourage her and others without hurting her. While such prohibition is understandable, leniency with reprimand would have been sufficient for this youthful enthusiasm based error. Note the flag on her head gear, she is patriotic sending a soft image.

They are only Some bunch of Narrow minded people

On one hand we support Sidhu as messenger of peace for a hug, but reprimand and condemn her for listening to Indian song. Classic hypocrisy.

Naya pakistan............

Pervaiz musharraf used to dance in public when he was a president;didnt get any dressing down

To be honest she is not bad. Start looking for a job in entertainment industry lady.

@Jalbani Baloch : she wasn't doing this while at work. She made this video at her home. So ASF code of conduct, no matter how rubbish they are dont apply here.

Please no need to over react. She was not on her job when she made her clip. No harm done to any one and her rights must not be violated by penalizing her non crimnal deed. Have some shame guys

What she does in her private life should be none of their concern. She did not discuss work nor did she reveal anything to jeopardize airport security. Even if she wishes to be a pole dancer, that should be her choice. An inhumane country with no freedoms, in speech, religion or otherwise.

At the time, she did not wear uniform. What is ASF's problem?

This lady is light hearted, exuberant with Joie de vivre, mischievous too. She appears to have a natural talent for acting. Heck, no question, she is attractive too. ASF strict discipline and protocol may not jive with her temperament.

She is preety,but it was incorrect to do it with uniform.

@haris what century you guys are living, mullah brigade is everywhere.

Don't disrespect the uniform for which men give up their lives. Shame on her. She should be fired from her post.

When punishing young people for offenses that haven't harmed anyone else, please don't go to the extent that you destroy their future. Punishment must be to teach them to be better and reach their full potential. A punishment that destroys a person's future and path to be better is cruel.

@Jalbani Baloch. But the penalty is exactly according to the army act 1952. There is a way things are done, you don't fire someone just because they violated a certain code of conduct. You should get educated in those areas of management and discipline.

This girl should have know our society rules and being working for Government,atleast she should have worn better clothes not in ASF dress code

Govt officials are treated the same way in the west if they do similar things on social media....especially law enforcement and teachers...

We have code of conduct in the west as well, and if you work for a company you have to abide by their rules. Many have been fired and disciplined for behaviour that is not a good representation of the company they work for. Her own fault not understanding the impact of her actions

What is wrong with these government institutions, they don't loose their repute by incompetence or negligence but they loose their repute if someone is pursuing his/her interest in their private time. Shame on ASF!

This is ok. Because she was using her official service uniform and identity in the video to dance to. People who are complaining probably have not served in armed forces. You are bound by certain regulatory issues. Same thing happened in Russian armed forces with their BSF forces (women) shown wearing their uniform and partying. They were charge sheeted as well.

It can be considered a mistake and giving some warning not to repeat again but she is young and shouldn't be pushed to reconsider her career choices.

There are plenty of videos in which men in uniform danced. You can check them online if uniform is the issue? totally wrong and baised. I must say

Maybe she wanted to get terminated from service.

@Khalid Chaudhry I am agree with u
