The Benjamin sisters discuss their careers and singing in the 80s. They claim to feel safer back then, during the hight of the islamisation campaign by General Zia, rather than today's tense climate of religious intolerance.

Their house in a Church Compound was recently attacked by some bandits who took away their valuable assets including cash. I hope the police in Karachi are aware of this incident. Yes, they are still good singers.
It will be a special occasion for me to watch the Benjamin Sisters once again. Certainly the Skunk will be there with full focus. Viva Benjamin Sisters! God bless you all. Salams
I had the opportunity to listen the live songs of Benjamin Sisters in a local hotel in 1982-83.
Though many singers in Pakistan came and stayed on the stage for a very long time. One of the examples is of Muhammad Ali Shaky who was favourite singers of the past and still he is favourite singer of the present.
Unfortunately, the time period of arrival and departure of Benjamin Sisters from the scene is some thing like that “they came and went”.
