Tariq was scheduled to perform on the third day of the food festival alongside Kaifi Khalil, Taha G and the Young Stunners.
If you’re a woman and you had to leave Karachi Eat because of the ruckus caused by a group of men who gatecrashed the event last Sunday, singer Ali Tariq has offered to hold a public, all-women gig for you. He wants to hold an event for them to enjoy the musical performance they weren’t able to at the annual food festival.
On Monday, Tariq shared a statement in which he apologised for what went down at Karachi Eat and hoped that all the women “made it home safe”. He said that it “hurts to see that women and families in our society can’t even enjoy such simple things in life,” and that he’s “ashamed” of it. The ‘Raabte’ singer hoped for everyone’s safety in a now expired Instagram story and found videos from the event “disturbing to watch”.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the singer wrote, “After reading all your messages from you guys, I want to put out a public gig, all girls only! This is to cater all the girls who came out on Sunday but weren’t able to enjoy their day to the fullest.”
Tariq also “pledged” his performance and made a public call for sponsors and donors to cover his band venue and production cost and gave contact details for those who’d like to contact him for the public gig.
The singer’s post received positive comments from RJ Dino Ali who wished Tariq the best with his initiative. Host from the eat festival Ahmed Godil offered his hosting skills for Tariq’s gig and singer Rafay Israr left some heart emojis.
