Mannat Clothing, a Pakistan-based fashion brand, uploaded pictures of a model wearing its clothes at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur without a headscarf.

The photographs sparked controversy since it is required for all visitors to keep their heads covered during a visit to any Gurdwara.

The clothing brand responded by deleting the pictures from its social media handles.

Usman Buzdar, the chief minister of Pakistan's Punjab, took note of the outrage and sought a report from the state's chief secretary in this regard.
