| AFSPA needed, legal protection must for troops: IAF chief | | |
EARLY TIMES REPORT
NEW DELHI, Oct 4: IAF chief Air Chief Marshal PV Naik justified the need for the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), whose removal has been demanded by the Jammu and Kashmir government, saying "legal protection" is a must for the troops to efficiently perform their tasks.
He was addressing a press conference on the force's Annual Day in New Delhi.
"A soldier fighting anywhere at the request of the government and not voluntarily, must have legal protection otherwise he would be left inefficient to complete the job in which either the central or the state government has interest in," Air Chief Marshal PV Naik said .
The IAF chief was asked to comment on the need for AFSPA for the troops to operate in areas such as Jammu and Kashmir and some parts of the North-east states. |
