MEHAR: Renowned Sindhi Sufi singer Faqeer Khalid Bhatti has publicly forgiven members of the Khemtio community following a wedding shooting in Sachal Goth, Karachi, three weeks ago. His nephew, Sohail Bhatti, was injured in the attack, which had escalated tensions between the families involved.
A reconciliation delegation, led by Sufi artists Manjhi Faqeer and Junior Janan Chan and including political and social figures such as Harif Khan Chandio and Ali Sher Goraro, visited Khalid Bhatti near Mehar. The singer welcomed the delegation and declared that he had forgiven the assailants, upholding Sindhi traditions of reconciliation. He added that even if his nephew had been killed, he would have honoured those seeking peace.
Manjhi Faqeer praised Khalid Bhatti’s gesture, calling forgiveness the “true virtue of a Sufi” and noting that he had declined to involve a feudal elder or seek compensation. The gathering concluded with prayers and embraces, marking the resolution of the dispute and reaffirming local cultural and spiritual traditions.
