In line with experiences that surfaced after, Lahore police confirmed Tahir Saeed’s arrest on the grounds that the couple was negligent and had let their prepare dinner Umer Farooq, who had examined optimistic for Covid-19, flee again to his village in Vihari, Punjab.
Because it took Farooq two native buses to succeed in his native hometown, the imprisonment was on grounds of hiding his prognosis, failing to quarantine him or inform related authorities, and due to this fact knowingly placing native lives in danger.
Nonetheless, after dealing with extra backlash for being “irresponsible elites”, the duo as soon as once more took to social media to clarify their facet in a 20 minute lengthy video on the model’s official accounts. The publish has since been deleted.
“Chughtai Lab didn’t tell us what to do, the government didn’t tell us what to do. The cook said he had symptoms and asked to be sent home so his siblings can take better care of him, that’s when we sent him,” she defined.
“This complete case was portrayed as if we recklessly despatched him off to Vehari. It’s a virus, it’s spreading in all places and the federal government might be not even conscious that it’s in Vehari and got here via him into our residence, we are the ones who’re upset!” she continued.
In a rustic the place the Prime Minister has again and again addressed the nation relating to social distancing and the significance of quarantine for the protection of others, it is extraordinarily disappointing that the privileged are appearing selfishly as a substitute of lending a hand to those that want their assist probably the most.
They’d no qualms about calling the authorities once they wanted a bail out, why could not they name the related authorities earlier than the prepare dinner left their premises? Or taken him to a hospital with an isolation ward for that matter?
The pandemic doesn’t discriminate between race or class since everyone seems to be at equal danger however clearly folks do.
A lot of the people whose lives could have been endangered through the two bus rides will barely have the ability to afford the healthcare and precautions the designer can however apparently that is okay so long as her family is practising social distancing (the principles of that are apparently completely different for the home assist).
Did the couple actually have to be advised how distancing works regardless of the whole world collaborating to clarify it? A easy Google search would have sufficed. What rock had been they residing below? Or was {that a} chandelier…
Whereas on no account are we condoning police utilizing extreme drive, we’re residing in unprecedented instances; if we won’t grasp the necessity for collective and particular person accountability, now we have no likelihood of containing this pandemic.
