| Army opposes AFSPA removal from J&K | | |
Early Times Report
new delhi, Oct 23: The Indian Army is against removal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in Kashmir, saying that there is no let-up in infiltration bids.
According to sources, Army has taken up AFSPA issue with Cabinet Secretary, claiming that there is no let up in infiltration from across the border. Lt Gen Syed Ata Hasnain said, "Deliberations on this subject are still going on. We will decide in our meeting. The issue has not come for discussion even once." Just a few days earlier, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act and Disturbed Areas Act will be removed from some areas in Jammu and Kashmir within the next few days.
Army's objections are not new but are they opposed to even a partial repeal of the draconian act? Will the J&k government attempt to convince the army or leave that for the Centre? |
