Using a woman’s dressing style as your Halloween costume and ridiculing her just because she chooses to cover herself differently.
Obviously there will be no outrage from @AuratMarch or @AuratCard. @Benazir_Shah @reema_omer @OhTripe @nighatdad @OmarIffat @asmashirazi pic.twitter.com/IJA5PJfgYt

I am no fan of Bushra. But I feel very very strongly about women having the liberty to choose how they dress without being ridiculed. If you feel the same way let @nabila_salon know (and @/tayabsiddiquikhi @/yawar_iqbal on Instagram).

How is this funny?? These are the same women who are always talking about feminism and women rights but never miss a chance to insult other women. This is her choice and I believe like every other women she(Bushra Bibi) is free to wear whatever suits her. Shame on you Areeba! pic.twitter.com/HCPcl7fGk7

The biggest hypocrites alive in Pakistani are desi liberals who preach about tolerance and freedom of choice but will make a mockery of someone like Bushra Bibi or whoever chooses to cover their body.#sickmentality #disgusting pic.twitter.com/oDdapmFZWw

Even if we ignore the fact that these so called celebrities are mocking Bushra Bibi, still this is how our religion advices women to dress up and cover themselves up.
Are they making fun of Allah's orders and Islam's teachings?
Ridiculous https://t.co/TJTZzJ6dL1— Rida Fatimah (@RidaFatimahISF) October 31, 2022

Well past few years have witnessed Halloween being celebrated in certain circles of Pakistani society, especially by the elites of the country.
For the poor, every day of life is more or less like Halloween when they coup to make both ends meet.
While the latest Halloween attire dawned by Areeba Habib has also left the internet divided.
I don't see any outrage for mocking Bushra Bibi. Since she's Khan's wife it's fine karo aurton ko mock. https://t.co/nIX4MpGik4
