Notably, last month, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti, in a written reply to a question of BJP MLC Vikram Randhawa, said: “four misguided youths shunned the path of violence and returned to the mainstream.Efforts are being made to counsel the families of militants to convince their wards to give up violence.”
The government had taken a number of steps to contain radicalisation and extremism. Youth clubs had been set up at the police station-level to train them in information technology and geo politics, she said.
She also mentioned about the surveillance on social media, which had been enhanced as the Internet plays a major role in de radicalisation of youth.
