Asserting that Kashmiri children should take part in development of India, veteran actor Nana Patekar said they must focus on education.
"I want to tell the children of Kashmir that they should read, write and learn and come to the mainstream," Patekar said while pointing towards the unrest in the Valley which has witnessed a series of incidents in which the educational institutes were set ablaze and pelted.
Patekar, who was on a visit to a BSF school interacted with the students and asked them to "shun violence".
On being asked about school children involved in stone pelting incidents, he said, "By doing this, you cannot build your career. They should learn. Come to the mainstream and contribute in nation building."
"They (Kashmir students) should first understand that this (India) is their own country and then everything will be resolved," he said.
