Withdraw Armed Forces Act: PDP

Shujaat Bukhari

Srinagar: The People’s Democratic Party, which is part of the coalition Government headed by the Congress in Jammu and Kashmir, on Saturday toughened its stand on the withdrawal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act and reduction in troops.

A PDP spokesman said in a statement that the “sudden and alarming spurt” in human rights violations in the State necessitated the urgency of initiating the troop reduction and withdrawal of the AFSPA. It was necessary to restore people’s faith.

The expose of another alleged fake encounter at Kupwara had shattered the people’s faith. “The expose is the grim and chilling reminder of the nefarious designs of the saboteurs of the normalisation process.” The revelation followed a spate of similar incidents at Bandipora, Rajouri and Ganderbal.
