Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti today asked security forces to restrain themselves from using pellet guns and differentiate between stone-pelters/militants and their families, while noting that force was used to deal with law and order in the Valley during the recent unrest.


"When we have to deal with such situation, we have to use force sometimes and I have no hesitation in saying this. We should all speak truth. We had to use force because we had to protect the lives and properties of all the people of Jammu and Kashmir," she said. The chief minister was speaking at the passing-out parade of Jammu and Kashmir Police at Commando Training Centre in south Kashmir's Pulwama district. Mehbooba said if force was not used, losses would have been more.
