The picture also showed just a few in masks with the rest taking no precautionary measures. Zafar wrote: "Sir Usman Buzdar, with the utmost respect it is quite shocking to see this congregation in times when social isolation is an absolute must. You must lead from the front sir."

He added that the "hospitals in Punjab had no clue and we still seem to be unaware of the seriousness of what can happen."
