Bring peace, you will get jobs: Mehbooba appeals to youths

Srinagar, Mar 7 (IBNS): Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Tuesday appealed the youth of Kashmir to 'help me restore peace here, I will give you jobs, development and dignity' which have fallen victims to the designs of the vested interests.


Mehbooba, acknowledging that there are issues of unemployment among Kashmiri youth, promised that “ restore peace and I will get Prime Minister ( Narendra Modi) here to  announce jobs for you.”

In her typical gesture of a clinched fist and raised arm, the Chief Minister, during a party seminar in Srinagar, added emphasis to her words: “ This is my promise to you all..”

“You help me in restoring peace; I will get PM here and ask him to end the unemployment of my youth. You live in peace I will give you jobs in tourism (department). That is my promise to you,” she said.

She also expressed her concern over stone-pelting protests.

“I know you (youth) from before. Today, I have many bodyguards standing behind me, but you were my bodyguards, my police and my security forces when I would visit your villages," she said.
