we feel for him, especially because this murder took place
in our back yard, in Karachi. Danny had been a big music fan
and had listened to `Parvaaz'''' [Junoon''''s 1999 release]
and so if I can do anything to ease his father''s pain and
participate in this day, I want to. What happened was totally
condemnable."
