Later, the event amid the pandemic also drew criticism from internet users.

One of the Twitter users wrote that all participants were busy promoting the importance of getting vaccinated, however, the reality was a bit disappointing as none of them was doing what they were preaching.

Only poor people can not travel in buses and hiaces because they spread covid but rich are allowed to do anything.

Moreover, a Twitter user highlighted that getting vaccinated doesn’t mean one can’t get affected by the infection and shared her personal experience.

I love how everyone is talking about COVID vaccine but none of them are wearing the mask. Having vaccine shot doesn’t mean that you won’t get COVID even here in USA after my both shot still wearing a mask

Another user criticized two-faced approach of the government which is restricting the poor to travel in public transport but allowing such luxurious events.
