Islamabad
May 13, 2021
Islamabad : The National Press Club (NPC) Islamabad’s three-day virtual Qirat and Naat competition concluded on Tuesday night with a large number of children participating in the event, reciting Holy Quran and Naats in their sweet and touching voices.
The competition, a one-of-a-kind for journalists’ kids was part of NPC’s annual mega event, the Ramazan Family Festival. Rawalpindi Islamabad Union of Journalists (RIUJ) and Overseas Pakistanis Global Foundation (OPGF) collaborated with NPC to hold the event in a befitting manner.
The event was earlier scheduled to take place at the NPC lawn but owing to the COVID-19 lockdown, it held via Zoom.
Maqsood remembers the late Qawwal from his time in Coke Studio season 9
Ramazan 16 marked five years since revered Qawwal Amjad Sabri, 45, died in Karachi.
Sabri was traveling by a car from his home in Liaquatabad to a television studio when a motorcycle pulled up alongside his vehicle. The attackers on the motorcycle opened fire, killing one of Pakistan’s most loved Qawwals and Naat Khawans on June 22, 2016.
The incident saw the nation descend into sorrow, as his fans, family and fraternity members took to social media to express their disbelief.
Five years later, some of these people are still remembering Sabri, and making sure his essence is never forgotten. One of them, of course, is his daughter Hoorain Amjad Sabri, and the other, is singer Bilal Maqsood, both of whom penned a note for the late legend on their Instagram yesterday.
