Not all youngsters are involved in stone-pelting: Mehbooba Mufti

New Delhi: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Monday asserted that not all youngsters of the state were involved in the stone-pelting incidents. She called the nation to divert their attention to the scores achievements of the Kashmiri youth across all fields. "I know Kashmir issue is serious but I don't believe there is anything which cannot be resolved," she said reported news agency ANI, while she attended the opening ceremony of Civil Secretariat in Jammu and Kashmir. Recently, Mehbooba Mufti praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said he is the only hope to address the 70-year-old Kashmir issue once and for all. He alone can help the people of the state in these troubling circumstances, she added during the inauguration of a much-awaited flyover in Jammu. "If anyone can take us out of this quagmire, then it is Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He has the mandate. Whatever he decides, the nation will support him," Mufti said reported news agency ANI and added "The previous prime minister also wanted to visit Pakistan, but could not. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Lahore is a proof of his abilities, an example of his moral authority." Mufti recalled that her father Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and then PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee also tried to resolve the Kashmir situation, but since then no efforts were made by subsequent governments. Interestingly, recently, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti after a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Kashmir unrest and growing issue of stone-pelting, addressed the media and demanded that the ruling dispensation at the Centre must follow the footsteps of former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and reach out to the disillusioned and angry youth.
