J&K considering amnesty for stone pelters
Jammu and Kashmir Law Minister Abdul Haq Khan has said the government is "seriously considering" pardoning stone pelters, and will review all such cases since 2008. He said the government wishes to give people "a fresh chance." However, habitual offenders and those involved in heinous crimes will not be granted amnesty. Jammu and Kashmir granted 1,811 youths amnesty in 2011.
