Srinagar, May 20 : Popular Pakistan rock band Junoon will perform on the banks of the Dal Lake here on Sunday with the objective of spreading a message of peace and communal harmony.

"We have organised the concert to push peace in the region," said Prasad Rao, whose non-governmental South Asia Foundation (SAF) is organising the event.

Rao said senior state and central government ministers -- possibly including Indian President Pratibha Patil -- would be among the audience.

"We have also extended our invitation to President Patil. Her participation has to be cleared by her security," Rao said.
