Arun Jaitley appeals to youth in J&K to shun violence

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley has appealed to youth in Jammu and Kashmir to shun violence. Speaking to a private TV channel, he said a political solution to the problem will have to be found soon within the Constitutional parameters. <br/><br/>Mr Jaitley said security forces need not use force if the protests are peaceful but they will have to act in self-defence if attacked. But if they bring weapons, explosives and attack security forces, come in thousands and pelt stones on security forces, this constitutes an attack and security forces will have to act in self-defence. <br/><br/>Addressing a function in Jammu on Sunday, Mr Jaitley also blamed Pakistan for not just training and funding terrorists but also for instigating the youth in Kashmir Valley.
