SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Societies (JKCCS), which held a Round Table Meeting here on Wednesday is organizing a parallel concert to protest Zubin Mehtas Kashmir show Ehsas-e-Kashmir (Feeling of Kashmir).
We are going to organize an event on the same day which would be music free. All the writers and eminent personalities who have written extensively on Kashmir conflict and human rights violations have consented to take part in the programme and throw a light over the plight of Kashmiri people, one of the members of civil society present in the meeting said.
Another member said that there is a need to confront the concert in a logical way. We have decided to gather at Sher-i-Kashmir Park and find ways and means to take Kashmiri people out of trouble. We have no doubt suffered heavily and we must show a united face in the interest of the people of Kashmir, he said.
JKCCS has titled the event as Haqeeqat-e-Kashmir (reality of Kashmir).
During the event the human rights violations in the region by government forces would be highlighted. National and foreign media will be present to cover Zubin Mehtas show. We will get a chance to highlight what is happening in Kashmir. Before they feel Kashmir, they should know its realities.
Haqeeqat-e Kashmir will be held a few hours before Mehtas concert at 5 in the evening, JKCCS said.
The meeting was attended by JKLF Chairman, Muhammad Yasin Malik, Nayeema Hamid, Zarief Ahmed Zarief, Shakil Qalandar besides others. The representatives of separatist organizations like APHC (M), DFP and National Front were also present at the meet. (CNS)
