Pakistan is standing on the verge of disaster as the country finds itself struggling to combat the ongoing fourth wave of Covid-19. The country's largest city, Karachi, has been reporting multiple cases of the novel coronavirus along with its delta variant. Over the last week, daily cases have risen to more than 5000.
Amid the fourth wave, as Sindh goes into complete lockdown this week, the federal capital saw a huge crowd grooving to the aspiring artist Hasan Raheem on Saturday night. The concert, that happened in Islamabad, became the talk of the town as many lashed out at the artist, organisers and the attendees for being reckless and not adhering to the SOPs.
Several pictures and videos from the event went viral on social media, Twitter was livid over the poor timing of the concert.
"The delta variant is as contagious as chickenpox and some influencers attended a concert by Hasan Raheem in Islamabad? I can't stop thinking about the pregnant woman who lost her life due to covid and people are literally out there treating it like a joke!" a user shared.
