On May 30, Abrar had expressed his fear of becoming infected after suffering from Coronavirus-like symptoms.
He had posted: “I am having fever and dry cough since last night and hope it is not Corona however those who interacted with me including Governor Sarwer should take precautionary measures.”
Abrar-ul-Haq may currently be focusing his efforts of political work but he made his name in music.
His debut album, Billo De Ghar, was released in 1995 and it sold over 40 million albums worldwide.
This made him a household name and earned him the title of ‘King of Pakistani Pop’.
As well as music, Abrar also founded a charitable organisation named SAHARA which stands for ‘Services Aimed at Health and Awakening in Remote Areas’.
Its aim is to promote health and education to the people of Narowal and its surrounding areas. It has done so since 1998.
Abrar also founded a hospital named Sugra Shafi Medical Complex.
In January 2006, he began the Youth Parliament on Pakistan, a non-political organisation that fosters the development of young people.
Abrar then joined the Pakistani political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. He has been a senior member since 2011.
He has been married to Hareem Abrar since 2005 and they have one son and two daughters together.
