In an attempt to reach out to the youth of Kashmir, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday insisted that India wants to see pens and computers in their hands and not stones and firearms.

Addressing a gathering, Singh said, "The people of this country want to see pens and computers in the hands of Kashmiri youth and not stones and firearms. We want to see employment in your hand. We want to see you working hard."

"There can be no solution by protests. We first want that peace is established in the valley and only after that we can mutually find a solution. The people of this country not only love the land of Kashmir but the Kashmiri people as well," he added.
