Hardline faction of HurriyatConference on Sunday expressed surprise over Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah’s support for the valley’s only all-girls rock band, saying there is no room to nourish western culture and immoral values in the state.
‘Kashmir is a place of sufis and saints and there is no room to nourish western type of culture and immoral values,’ Hurriyat spokesman Ayaz Akbar said in a statement.
‘Though in a civilised society there is no place for coercion and force, there are some values a citizen has to adopt to safeguard the ethical and religious traditions,’ he said.
‘Hurriyat Conference expresses regret and surprise over the support of Omar Abdullah,’ Akbar said.
‘As a matter of fact no noble family will allow their girls to choose their profession as a dancer so as to be a mere thing of pleasure for strangers,’ he said.
Akbar said Omar should have gone through the history of Kashmir to find out the high regard and esteem bestowed upon women in order to save them from being sold as commodity.
