It may be noted that the premier wore a face mask and sat at a safe distance from his media team, but people on social media created an outcry and called the act ‘irresponsible’.

A user sharply criticised the Special Assistant on sharing such an image:

Senator, this is callous & highly irresponsible. Why are you broadcasting this?

A Twitterati said, “Isn’t a covid patient supposed to isolate himself ?? And this meeting could have done online too. If our PM is unable to observe all this himself how will he be giving lectures to his public to protect themselves and others !! More than disappointing it’s shameful Khan shb!”

A netizen pointed out, “Disappointed!!! PM should be isolating, this picture shows utter disregard to Quarantine protocols. for 10 days at least he should not meet anyone. That is why the nation does not respect SOPs as leaders are the worst examples of not wearing masks and following SOPs and law.”
