Maria B, one of Pakistan’s leading fashion designers and successful businesswomen, has responded to the recent protest organised by the Aurat March Lahore.
The protest, held on February 12 in celebration of Pakistan’s National Women’s Day, saw demonstrators march from the Press Club to Faletti’s Hotel, carrying placards targeting Maria B and former actress Mishi Khan.
In her reply, Maria B dismissed the protest, labelling it the "Qaum e Lout March" and the "Unsuccessful Women’s March." She stated that the public of Pakistan had already rejected such demonstrations, and voiced disappointment at the protestors' actions.
Maria B further criticised the organisers, suggesting their motivations were driven by external funding and an agenda.
She expressed her belief that the majority of Pakistani women desire to live in line with Islamic teachings, striving for independence and success to support their families, rather than associating with those she described as unsuccessful in their careers.
Her comments have sparked further discussion, with Maria continuing to champion women who seek to be strong contributors to their families, rather than aligning with what she perceives as a controversial movement.
