Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 13: In sharp contrast to what National Conference Additional General Secretary Dr. Mustafa Kamaal commented on revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and calling Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde 'ignorant' over the subject, the Jammu and Kashmir Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) came out openly in support of Shinde and defended his statement on AFSPA.
Speaking to Early Times, JKPCC Spokesperson and Member Legislative Council (MLC) Ravinder Sharma said that it does not matter who is saying and reacting to the timing of revoking AFSPA from the state, it is the Home Minister who is the best judge to make a decision on this crucial issue.
"I do not know what sort of reaction is emanating over Shinde's statement; however, I am of the opinion that Union Home Minister is the most appropriate authority in the country to make a judgment on this sensitive issue. Nobody else knows and understand the situation better than Shinde," Sharma said adding that AFSPA is not an issue to call for any public debate. |
