Can AFSPA be revoked in restive Jammu and Kashmir? What Army Chief said
Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said the removal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) from terrorism-hit Jammu and Kashmir was “highly possible” but the present situation was not conducive. Without giving a timeframe, General Dwivedi, speaking at the India Today Conclave, said AFSPA could be revoked from J&K when the Army feels there is adequate proof that the local police could handle the situation.
