Junaid Jamshed Buried in Karachi
Huge turnout at singer’s funeral after plane crash that also left 46 others dead.
Thousands attended the funeral prayers on Thursday of Junaid Jamshed, a pioneer of Pakistani pop who renounced music to become a Muslim evangelist and who was among 47 people killed in a plane crash last week.
Politicians, senior military officers, cricketers, singers and fans were among those who bade farewell at a service held at a cricket ground in Karachi. “I cannot believe that Junaid is no longer with us,” said Maulana Tariq Jamil, a renowned Islamic preacher, who led the funeral prayer.
