As the violence after the death of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist fails to stop even three weeks after his death, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today made a strong appeal for peace, in the name of the children, who she said, were being "used" to create unrest on the street.
In an exclusive interview to NDTV, Ms Mufti appealed to the people to think of the next generations, pointing out that "People whose children were studying abroad, were instigating other children to violence".
"All the children born in the last 15 years have only seen violence. We can't push them to more violence," she added.
While Pakistan declared Wani a martyr, Lashkar chief Hafiz Sayeed was reported to have admitted that his men had fanned the violence in the Kashmir Valley in which 47 people have died and more than 2,500 people had been injured.
Many of them stands to lose their vision following injuries in the eye from the pellet guns of the security forces.
Attacking the instigators of this violence in no uncertain terms, the chief minister said "many forces" have come together to "vitiate the atmosphere".
This, she said, was their "business". "They spend money, send children from one area to another to create trouble, divert children and lead them to police stations and forces camps, because they know there will be retaliation. Only common people will get killed, while the instigators run away."
Quoting her father, the late Mufti Mohammad Sayeed, she said guns and grenades never solved anything, "Only dialogue can help".
Coming down vehemently against the street protesters, Ms Mufti further said they were acting as the agents of destruction, destroying state property that may take years to rebuild.
"They are attacking police stations, attacking camps and court complexes and destroying everything. We will have to reconstruct it again."
