| Bhim sees mischief in CM's twitter | | `Band not new in Kashmir' | |
Early Times Report
jammu, Feb 6: Chief Patron of National Panthers Party (NPP) Prof Bhim Singh today said that Kashmir's first all girls rock band was nothing new as people in the Valley have been carrying the fragrance of Sufi culture for centuries.
"The Muslim fraternity in J&K has imbibed the great culture of tolerance and brotherhood for long. The girls' rock-band sparked a row only after the Chief Minister fired his twitter either without application of mind or with mischievous mind. Those who have been victims of the undemocratic, authoritarian and oppressive regime of the Abdullahs could not have got a better opportunity to hit back at the Twitter," Singh said in a statement.
"The Muftis are well-experienced and know the art of striking when iron is hot. The Muftis are also aware that Hazrat Daud had unique melodious voice, which is known in the history. Music or singing for peace, harmony and humanity is popular in all the Islamic countries (Saudi Arabia may be an exception). Omakalsum was the most popular Arabic singer in Egypt. Her songs are most popular in the Arab World," he added.
Bhim said that those who have objected girls' rock-band must have shared the passion of 'Junoon' band of Pakistan, which rocked the entire Valley with joy and participation in May 2008 during its rocky display at Kashmir Study Institute at Kashmir University.
"The episode has been blown out of proportion by the media. It has put question mark on JK's governance? Is a religious, soft spoken, apolitical Mufti more powerful, more commending and more acceptable than a popularly elected Chief Minister of J&K?," he asked. |
