Mother's love prevailed: CM

SRINAGAR: On Majid's return, Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti said that a mother's love prevailed.
"Her (Majid's mother's) impassioned appeal helped in getting Majid, an aspiring footballer back home. Every time a youngster resorts to violence, it is his family which suffers the most," Mehbooba tweeted, immediately after news broke about Majid's come back.
"I understand the predicament of young boys who have strayed into militancy. Most realise the futility of senseless violence & want to return home and live normal lives with dignity."
Mehbooba said the choice to return homes for the young militants "is not easy one" because of the social stigma attached to "surrender."
"But the choice to renounce violence is not an easy one and they find themselves between the devil and the deep blue sea. The fear of social stigma clouds their judgement," she wrote in successive tweets.
Former Chief Minister Omar Abdullah also termed the return of Khan as "good development" and expressed hope that he would resume his normal life soon.
