Srinagar, Feb 2: Activists, filmmakers and others today came out in support of Kashmir's first all-girls rock band, which is facing online threats and abuses, with Chief Minister Omar Abdullah ordering a police probe and hoping that the talented teenagers will not let themselves be silenced by a “handful of morons”.
The girls, vocalist-guitarist Noma Nazir (16), drummer Farah Deeba and guitarist Aneeka Khalid (both 15), who defied convention to form the rock band “Pragaash” (darkness to light), have stopped live shows in the wake of the online threats.
