SRINAGA, Aug 25: Home Minister Rajnath Singh on wednesday met Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and held a joint press conference in Srinagar.
Rajnath said he is visiting the Valley for the second time since the crisis began and has met close to 300 people and delegations from almost every political party have met him
Rajanth said "Children are children. If they pick up stones, they must be counselled, I appeal to all Kashmiris not to play with the future of youth in the Valley. The future of India cannot exist without the future of Kashmir. I have said it before also, youth in Kashmir should have pens, books and computers in their hands, not stones."
Singh said that security personnel have been told to exercise maximum restraint, and that an alternative to pellet guns will be given very soon.
