Separatist oppose Concert of Zubin Mehta
There is a huge cry In Kashmir about concert by Zubi Mehta , sponsored by
Geman Embassy There is no logic , except that the separatist are taking
clue form across the border to destabilise peace and send wrong signals
Zubin is a world renowned cultural Ambassador It would help tourism,
economy and young people to witness and motivate. The Govt is propagating
visit to the valley emphasising normalcy. The separatist were mum on the
recent disturbances and killing of forces, There was no dissent when a
musical group performed sometime back in the valley
Zubin a proud Indian and world famous conductor of acclaim and repute is
not promoting political agenda, The separatist are fast losing relevance in
the valley and these measures are aimed at shoring up their existence and
popularity Music concert whether local , international promote goodwill
among the people and cut across barriers of all sorts Performance by Zubin
Mehta and his skillful group is not an assault on Indian culture
The rational behind objection is meaningless, The argument that the time
and atmosphere is not conducive is not tenable The state has taken the
decision to stage the concert, hence it must take steps to conduct it
safely and send the message that peace has returned to the Valley and it is
a safe destination for tourist
