Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the central government is considering revoking the Armed Forces Special Powers Act in parts of Kashmir. He also said that pulling back some troops from Jammu and Kashmir and handing law and order back to police is on the cards.
‘We have plans to pull back troops and leave law and order to the Jammu and Kashmir Police alone. We are strengthening the police, who are at the forefront during the encounter’ the home minister said. The troops will slowly and slowly go to the barracks. ‘Such a design has already been formed. We have made a blue print of seven years,” he added.
The Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) grants authority to armed forces personnel when operating in areas designated as disturbed. A region or district is labeled as disturbed under the AFSPA to aid the operations of the armed forces.
