The people pelting stones in Kashmir were not merchants of terror. Enraged, the young men began pelting the bus with stones from all four directions. This is the situation after the state’s chief minister, Mehbooba Mufti, recently granted general amnesty to those booked for pelting stones in 2008. It is easier to indoctrinate those accused of pelting stones into terrorism. If chief minister Mehbooba Mufti talks about a dialogue with Pakistan, opposition leader Omar Abdullah begins to see a yearning for freedom in the actions of those pelting stones.
