While he garnered praise from India, in Pakistan, he has been receiving flak as a large number of people were spotted violating COVID-19 SOPs at the inauguration of his clothing brand, MJT in Karachi.
I respect maulana tariq jamil sahab but why would he do such thing in the middle of a pandemic??? and the weird part is no one took action against this gathering for breaking SOPs.
