Lahore based famous designer Maria Butt known as Maria B is making headlines these days along with her husband Malik Tahir Saeed. In the early hours of Tuesday, Punjab Police raided on Maria B’s house and arrested her husband.
Maria B’s husband, Tahir Saeed was arrested for putting many lives at risk after he sent the family’s chef, who tested positive for COVID19, home to his village near Vehari by bus devoid of reporting to authorities or getting him any treatment.
After that, a tear-filled video message released on social media, the designer declared that police told the couple there is an FIR against Saeed and did not allow him to discuss with a lawyer at the time.

However, the designer and her husband explained in another video what had happened, saying that bizarre news had been making its way around the internet.
They said they wanted to clear some misconceptions Maria’s video had caused.
After hearing all this, people can’t stop slamming Maria B and her husband:
I love how Maria B thinks that she can turn on the camera & tell the PM during a pandemic to care about her reckless husband who sends Covid-19 positive patients on bus rides.
Elite Class Previlage in Pakistan knows no bounds. Some minister will get him released.

#MariaB makes billions of rupees selling lawn, bridal suits & fragrances. Shame on her and other stingy designers of her ilk, who won’t pay a couple of thousand rupees to to get their domestic help treated in private hospitals and endanger others’ lives amid a health crisis.

Since #MariaB's husband got bail from LHC despite his actions that threatened and polluted many INNOCENT lives, I'm announcing a complete boycott of Maria B and request everyone across my country to trend the hashtag #BoycottMariaB and stop buying her products.

Shameful elitist behaviour by #MariaB and her husband. Why wouldn’t you get your cook help and send him to the hospital instead of sending him home on a bus and infecting hundreds more. Risking the lives of so many ppl. Im glad the state has taken strict action. #accountability

I still think that these stupid irresponsible ignorant ass explanation is futile. First they claim that they did send their servant, then they accuse lab & Govt that they didn't guide them.
you dumb ass ignorant illiterate people are irresponsible not govt.#MariaB #COVID19 pic.twitter.com/kZS0OidewG— Ali Lashari (@iamlashartist) March 24, 2020
