Renowned Pakistani qawwali singer Amjad Sabri, who was shot dead by the Taliban in Karachi on Wednesday , frequently visited India. His previous performance was in Delhi at the Pakistan Embassy last year during the Shaan-e-Pakistan event. His performance was supposed to be the highlight of the event this September as well. Huma Nasr, the organiser of the event from Pakistan says, “I am extremely shocked and saddened with the news of his sudden death.“
“I am completely demotivated, his death is a huge loss to all of us. Last year, his performance was loved by many in Delhi. This year, we planned to present something new -we were planning a medley with Sabri saab and Pakistani sufi singers Sanam Marvi and Asrar, but we can't say anything now. I am very upset,“ added Huma. Sources say that now, Abida Parveen may replace the deceased Sufi singer in the programme.
Amjad was also in the news recently when he reportedly called for legal action to be taken regarding copyright issues for his song Bhar Do Jholi from Bajrangi Bhaijaan. After that case, sources say that he had not taken up any other Bollywood project.
