Stone pelting on security forces in the troubled state of Jammu and Kashmir is surprising all peace loving people across the country. Many often wonder what more Kashmiris, young girls and guys pelting stones need as successive Union governments shored up more than half of the country revenue in Jammu and Kashmir. 

Now Kashmiri girl Afshan Ashiq whose picture pelting stones last year went viral is surprising all scoring goals in Women's football. She says the picture turned her sporting career and she is now helping many girls to enter into the sport.

Afshan after multiple meetings with J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti, gave up stone pelting and decided to promote Women's football in the state. The 23 year old is now the captain and goalkeeper of the women's football team of the state. She is now playing for a Mumbai club and Bollywood makers are here with a biopic on silver screen. 

She however said she do not regret for the stone pelting incident as it was one off and she was furious at that time as a cop abused one of her team members.
