SRINAGAR, Sept 6: Member Legislative Council (MLC) and President of State Yuva Panthers Party, the Youth Wing of party, Syed Rafiq Shah rejected the invitation of music concert of Zubin Mehta, scheduled to be held on September 7.
The party workers organized a peaceful sit in protest alleging that the concert is the conspiracy against Kashmiri culture, tradition and diverting the attention on Kashmir issue.
Rejecting the views of the Jammu and Kashmir Government on the concert to be performed by renowned music conductor Zubin Mehta here, the Youth leader of Panthers Party said that it was wastage of crores of rupees.
“The Government gives false impression that the concert is essential for development of the State. Such costly programs are not essential for a society where lakhs of youth are unemployed,” Shah said.
