NCW, MPS Voice Support For Kashmir's All-girls Band
NEW DELHI, Feb 4 (Bernama) -- National Commission for Women and some parliamentarians on Monday came out in support of Kashmir's first all-girls rock band 'Pragaash', Press Trust of India (PTI) reported.
"Every one has their own perspective, there are traditions. But I believe that if after so many years of independence, we stop girls from any work, it will be our double standards," said Mamata Sharma, Chairperson of the National Commission for Women.
"On the one hand, we say that both genders should be equal but on the other hand we put restrictions on girls, that girls cannot do this...I believe this is very wrong," she added.
Naeem Akhtar, spokesperson of Opposition Peoples Democratic Party in Jammu-Kashmir, said the entire incident was an "unnecessary controversy".
Opposition Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Najma Heptullah also supported the all-girls band.
The Grand Mufti of Jammu and Kashmir Bashiruddin Ahmad had on Sunday issued a decree, terming the bands singing as "un-Islamic" and asked the girls to abandon it.
The all-girls band has three class 10 students as its members - vocalist-guitarist Noma Nazir, drummer Farah Deeba and Guitarist Aneeka Khalid.
The first live performance of 'Pragaash' (darkness to light) at Srinagar's music festival 'Battle of the Bands' in December had created ripples in the Valley.
But their euphoria was short-lived as the girls soon started receiving online threats for defying convention by choosing the field of music, leaving their parents worried and forcing them to keep a low profile.
