Srinagar: Amid the unrest in the Kashmir Valley, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Sunday said violence cannot resolve any issue and dialogue is the only way forward.
She also said there was an “issue in the minds” of the people and it needs to be addressed.
“Mufti (Mohammad Sayeed) used to say bullets and grenades cannot solve issues. Gun has not changed anything. There is no way out other than dialogue,” Mehbooba told NDTV.
Referring to the ongoing unrest in the Kashmir Valley, she said everyone should “feel the pain” of the future generation.
CM-31“Those who have other ideology should also feel the pain of the younger generation getting affected. What do you want to achieve by this (violence)? What Azadi (freedom), what Pakistan or what India,” she said.
“We brought in security forces and they contained the situation. But there is an issue which is in the minds. It has to be addressed,” she added.
The Chief Minister also spoke about destruction of public property during the clashes after the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Bhurhan Wani on July 8 saying it was a setback to development process.
“Why attack police stations, court and other buildings. We will have to rebuild them later,” she said.
Mehbooba said instead of asking the Kashmiri youth to focus on education, they are being incited to take stones in their hands and attack whosoever comes their way.
“An elderly vendor who moves out of his home in the morning to earn the bread and butter for his starving family is being disgraced by urchins, young girls are being threatened that they will be torched alive alongwith their scooties if they move out of their home, people wearing decent clothes are being intimidated, respectable citizens are being humiliated and unsuspecting travelers are being pillaged in the name of protests,” the Chief Minister said.
Such hideous activities are not only unacceptable but unbecoming of a civilized society, she added.
