Kozhikode, Feb. 13 (UNI): Stating that music has no boundaries, globe trotting ghazal maestro Ghulam Ali on Sunday said that it could play an important role in easing tension between India and Pakistan and pave way for lasting peace.

Talking to reporters, prior to the start of his programme "Ghazal ke Mehfil," on the concluding day of the Tenth 'Malabar Mahotsav' here, he said it was easy to achieve peace through music as the people in the sub-continent spoke the same language and were familiar with the same ragas.

The singing sensation from Pakistan said he believed in purity in ghazal. Fusion laced with ghazal would destroy classical music, he said.

Ghulam Ali, who got his musical training from his father and also trained briefly under the legendary, Ustad Bade Gulam Ali Khan said he would be happy to conduct ghazals in Malayalam if he got an opportunity.
