New Delhi | July 18, The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday endorsed Army Chief General Bikram Singh’s view that lifting of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from the Kashmir Valley will affect security operations in Jammu and Kashmir.
BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said one should not confront the army chief’s views on the Armed Forces Special Powers Act.
“We have to trust the words of the army chief. And, if a general of the world’s third largest army believes that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act should remain in Jammu and Kashmir, we should not confront him,” Rudy said.
Rudy further said the Armed Forces Special Powers Act does ensure peace in the valley.
“There are recent instances, where lot of infiltration has taken place. There have been incidents of terrorist being caught and killed. And it’s a time-tested evidence that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act does give lot of peace in the valley,” said Rudy.
“The paramilitary forces; the state police along with the army, which does have certain exemption under the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, has been able to perform well. I think the BJP would fully endorse the statement of the army chief,” he added.
The Indian Army has time and again opposed the revocation of AFSA, stating that it would hamper anti-militancy operations and leave the armed forces handicapped.
General Bikram Singh, who visited the Northern Command last month, is believed to have recommended to the Ministry of Defence that the thinning of troops is not feasible at present, given the delicate security situation in the state and the presence of terror camps and launching pads across the Line of Control (LoC).
The revocation of Armed Forces Special Powers Act was also one of issues that figured prominently during the Army Chief’s meeting with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah.
The Parliament of India passed the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) on September 11, 1958. It grants special powers to the armed forces in what the act calls ‘disturbed areas’ in the states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura.
It was later extended to Jammu and Kashmir as the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, 1990 in July 1990.
The Jammu and Kashmir People’s Freedom League (JKPFL) on Wednesday staged a demonstration against alleged human rights violations by the state government.
Demonstrators marched to the United Nations Military Observers Group office at Sonawar here, and submitted a memorandum demanding the release of people wrongly incarcerated and the withdrawal of laws that restrict the civil liberties.
“This protest is to demand an end to all the black laws. We also demand the release of those who have
been wrongfully kept in prison for two decades now. We intend to take this agitation to the United Nations, so that we can submit our memorandum,” said Shabbir Ahmad, a demonstrator.
The protestors were, however, taken away in a police vehicle, before they could submit their memorandum.

Imphal, July 18 NNN: An emergency meeting of the JAC on implementation of MGNREGS, Sadar Hills was held at Kuki Inpi here on Wednesday and condemned the state government’s policy to pay 50 per cent of wages of the job card holders through Zilla Parishads/District Council and Line Departments.

He said if the policy is put into effect in the hill villages it will violate their administrative practice and cultures, appealing that the government should withdraw the decision in the interest of the hill people and that 100 per cent of the MGNREGS fund meant for hill areas should be made available through the concerned village heads only.
The JAC is all prepared to launch agitations in case the state government tries to implement the policy in the hills, Kipgen threatened.
