Musician Taj Multani, known for his patriotic songs, passed away Friday night at the age of 74 after a long battle with cancer. Multani shot to fame with his patriotic song “Jaag Raha Hai Pakistan” during the War of 1965. The singer, who, according to a local media outlet, was originally from southern Punjab, also lent the magic of his voice to numerous films as a playback singer. The government of Pakistan had honoured him with the President Award for Pride of Performance earlier this year. The Arts Council Karachi arranged a Condolence Gathering for legend Taj Multani on Sunday 23rd, 2018 at Manzar Akbar Hall.
