Music and murder can’t go together: Sharad Yadav ‘Hurriyat Should Take Part In Elections, Like Maoists Did In Nepal’ Srinagar, Sep 10: Suggesting Hurriyat leadership to take a cue from Maoists of Nepal, Janta Dal United President Sharad Yadav Tuesday said he would try to find out the “hidden hands” trying to disrupt the peace in Kashmir by killing innocent civilians. “Innocent human beings were killed in Shopian and soon after reaching New Delhi I would meet the Prime Minister of India to find out who are the unseen forces behind disrupting peace in Valley and are killing innocent people,” Yadav told to reporters during a press conference in Srinagar on Tuesday. “Music and murder can’t go together. Music transcends the tides of peace but the day musical concert was organized here, four people were killed in cold blood in Shopian. Zubin Mehta show was politicized and it should have been held in New Delhi,” he said. “I don’t know why these youth were murdered and I don’t understand which unseen forces are doing this all. I would take up the matter with Prime Minister of India and would find out why this bloody game is being played in Kashmir,” Yadav said adding that “we are all responsible for the mess that we have created in Kashmir.” He said Hurriyat leadership should participate in electoral process and should contest in elections as Maoists did in Nepal. “Ballot is better than bullet. Maoists in Nepal controlled the Government by taking part in elections. Separatists should take a cue from them. The fact is that the level of violence was much higher in Nepal than in Kashmir,” he said, adding that if Maoists could form the Government in Nepal why not Separatists in Kashmir. The Janta Dal United President said people of Kashmir could fulfill their aspirations through democratic means. “Kashmir has a lot of potential but we all have created mess here and we including New Delhi are responsible for all the chaos prevalent here,” he said. “It is a wrong notion that we don’t take up issues pertaining to Kashmir in the Parliament. In fact, we do take up. Last time our colleague KC. Tyagi raised Kashmir issue in Rajya Sabha and categorically said that New Delhi takes cognizance of Kashmir problem only at the time when bullets are showered on people there,” Yadav said. He lamented that under Prime Minister’s Special Scholar Scheme more than two thousands students from Kashmir Valley were duped. “I met parents here who told me that more than two thousand students were not provided scholarships under PMSSS launched in 2010. I would take up this matter with PM in New Delhi,” he said.
