The withdrawal of AFSPA (Armed
Forces Special Powers Act)1958 has now become a key issue to address in many
states of India where AFSPA is present whether it is northeast states like
Manipur, Arunanchal Pradesh or Jammu and Kashmir infact Irom sharmila who
contested elections for Manipur state legislative assembly in 2017 did hunger
strike for 16 years for the withdrawal of AFSPA from state calling it a
draconian law but here we will talk on withdrawal of AFSPA from J&K state
In
1990 after militant uprising in J&K Governor of State Jagmohan imposed
AFSPA in state and from last 27 years it is still there and just due to that
Indian army, CRPF & J&K Police were alleged for Human rights violation in
the states and many political parties in the state has made a clear agenda in
there manifesto’s of Withdrawal of AFSPA
Including National Conference, People’s Democratic Party, Indian National
Congress and Bhartiya Janta Party in 2015 when PDP-BJP alliance formed at that
time they kept that agenda in there alliance some says if the AFSPA withdrawn
then state will again notice a militant uprising like 1990 and it will not be
in the favor of India nor Kashmir but every time some says that AFSPA an be
withdrawn from those areas of JK state where no militant situation is Present
that parts includes Jammu, leh, ladakh and some parts in Kashmir valley and it
can be done because in Arunanchal Pradesh AFSPA is their but only in some areas
not in full state and 2 years ago AFSPA was removed from the state of Tripura and
recently Mehbooba Mufti, Chief Minister of J&K state said that “We should not shy away from withdrawal of
AFSPA. When things improve” some says that it’s just a political statement
because 2 bi elections are coming in state one is from Srinagar and other is
from Anantnag from where her brother is contesting so no one knows what’s in her mind. Before her
Omar Abdullah also raised this issue many times when CM and after he left the
office.
I
believe that AFSPA should be withdrawn from the areas where no militancy is
present that includes Jammu and Ladakh region and see what happens & if any
situation arises so J&K police will take over it .
I
hope for best
