While police personnel are sometimes criticized for their harshness, Shahid, a Punjab Police officer, has gained widespread fame for his efforts to heal cultural differences.
Officer Shahid offered Sikh Yatris from India a memorable welcome as they traveled to Pakistan for their sacred trip to Nankana Sahib and Kartarpur Sahib.
In a heartwarming moment, Shahid connected spiritually and emotionally with the pilgrims by singing a kalam by Sufi poet Mian Mohammad Bakhsh. The image struck a profound chord with online viewers because it encapsulated the spirit of Punjabi culture, which is shared by individuals on both sides of the border.
