Proposal to revoke AFSPA Act in parts of Kashmir Valley
The demand for removal of this act was first initiated by Opposition People's Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti, who had launched a public campaign against AFSPA act in February 2007.
A MOVE that can be seen as a confidence building measure, the Center may revoke its controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in Srinagar and Budgam districts. It is anticipated that such a move might end protests in which more than 60 people have lost their lives since June 11. The Centre is likely to decide on removal of troops from eight disturbed areas including Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Reasi, Udhampur in the Jammu region, and Srinagar, Budgam and Ganderbal in Kashmir. The demand for removal of this act was first initiated by Opposition People's Democratic Party president Mehbooba Mufti, who had launched a public campaign against AFSPA act in February 2007.
