New Delhi, Aug 4 (IANS): Home Minister P. Chidambaram Wednesday appealed to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to "end the cycle of violence" that has been continuing for the past more than 50 days.

"I appeal to the people of Jammu and Kashmir to end the cycle of violence," Chidambaram said in the Lok Sabha.

He said the central government was behind the Omar Abdullah-led state government in its efforts aimed at restoration of peace, holding dialogue and redressal of grievances in all parts of Kashmir.

Chidambaram made a specific appeal to parents in Kashmir, urging them to ensure that their children do not become part of violent activities.

He said that there were 872 stone pelting incidents in June and July 2010 and 1,456 security personnel were injured, adding that the security forces showed "great fortitude" in dealing with the violent protests.

The Kashmir Valley has been on the boil due to violent protests against civilians being killed in firing by security forces since June 11.

    I don't understand who is doing this protest and for what? I see in TV, lot of youngsters (covering their face with masks) throwing stones. If they belongs to anti-social elements, strict action must be taken (if that requires firing, don't mind) to stop this cowardly act.
