SRINAGAR: The trend of youth shunning violence was a setback to militant organisations in Kashmir, a top CRPF officer said here today, while calling the amnesty given to first-time stone-pelters a “large-hearted” approach.
“This (return of youth to mainstream) is a good trend. The forces always wanted to wean the youth off violence. Off late, we have had success. Several people, including a footballer, shunned the path of violence and returned home. It is a good step and an opportunity for the youth to rectify mistakes and return to the mainstream,” Central Reserve Police Force Inspector General Ravideep Sahi said. (AGENCIES)
