The United States has said that the “senseless murder” of one of Pakistan’s finest Sufi Qawwals, Amjad Sabri, in Karachi this week, violates the fundamental freedoms of expression, religion and belief.
Sabri, 45, one of Pakistan’s finest Sufi Qawwals, best known for his soul-stirring renditions of mystic poetry, was killed by Taliban militants who shot him in the head in a targeted terror attack in Karachi on Wednesday.
Thousands of mourners on Thursday thronged the streets of Pakistan’s largest city Karachi and sang the soul-stirring renditions of Sabri as they paid tribute to him.
