Army Chief (left) with Army Commander
New government of Jammu Kashmir once again trying for revocation of Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA). It is nothing new. This demand is being asked by all government's time to time. Whether It is Kashmir based political party National Conference or Peoples Democratic Party. After new government came to power, Chief minister Mufti Mohammed Sayeed asked Central Govenment to revoke AFSPA. But on the other hand Army and Security agencies are not in favour of this. Few days ago Chief Minister Mufti Mohmmad Sayeed meets five top Commanders, including chiefs of Northern and Western Commands and 3 Corps commanders looking after the operational command of Jammu and Kashmir. After this meeting Army Chief General Dalbir Singh visited Udhampur-based Northern Command in Jammu and Kashmir and reviewed overall security situation of the State. Army Commander Lt Gen DS Hooda, who briefed him on the overall security situation in the Command theatre. The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) also interacted with other senior Commanders and discussed on that. The visit is more significant in view of Chief Minister Mufti Mohmmad Sayeed batting strongly for partial withdrawal of AFSPA from peaceful areas of J&K and chain of meeting with him by top Army commanders. Perhaps, everyone is asking, Is J&K ready for revoke AFSPA?
