SRINAGAR: Asking the youth to shun the path of violence, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today said that they should help her in bringing back peace to the valley so that she can create jobs for them.
“I request you to the help me in bringing back peace here. I will bring the Prime Minister here and ask him to find ways to address the unemployment issue faced by the youth here,” Mehbooba told a youth convention organised by the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP) here.
Making an emotional appeal, Mehbooba said it is painful to see the youths, who formed the protective layer around her before she had security guards, have stones in their hands.
“My acquaintance with you is not new. Today I have so many bodyguards but it was the youths who would form a protective layer around me when I would visit remote areas earlier. You were my bodyguards. Today I am pained to see the youths having stones in their hands,” she said.
Peace, she emphasised, is imperative for tackling the problem of unemployment. (AGENCIES)
