London
(ANI):
Late
musician
John
Lennon's
sister
Julia
Baird
has
hit
out
at
the
peace
duo
Bono
and
Bob
Geldof
for
not
promoting
world
peace
adequately.
Julia
has
gone
to
the
length
of
saying
that
her
brother
would
have
done
much
more
for
world
peace,
if
he
were
alive.
She
insists
that
the
two
musicians
have
only
been
able
to
hog
the
limelight
as
global
campaigners
due
to
Lennon's
absence.
"People
like
Bono
and
Geldof
have
only
been
able
to
take
centre
stage
as
they
have
because
John's
not
here," the
Daily
Express
quoted
Julia,
as
saying.
"John's
hero
was
Gandhi,
which
not
a
lot
of
people
know
and
he
would
have
been
heading
in
that
direction,"
Julia
added.
Julia
also
condemned
Bono
and
Geldof
for
not
taking
any
stand
against
the
never-ending
war
against
Iraq.
There's
no
way
he
would
have
kept
out
of
world
affairs.
He
would
have
been
against
the
war
in
Iraq.
He
would
have
been
campaigning,
protesting
and
marching.
He
was
not
the
type
of
person
to
sit
back
and
do
nothing," Julia
said.
