CM yet to respond to our recommendations: Lt Gen Parnaik Rising Kashmir News Parnaik said that unless the militant infrastructure across the Line of Control and in the Valley is dismantled, there cannot be a sense of lasting peace in the State.
Srinagar, May 14: A senior army official Saturday disclosed that army has told the Chief minister that it is against removal of controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFPSA) from the State.“We have given our recommendations on the applicability of AFSPA in the state to Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and is yet to get a response,” Northern Command Chief Lt General K T Parnaik told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.
He said one of the recommendations included that time was not ripe for removing AFSPA from the State.“This was not the only recommendation. There were host of issues spelled out to try and clarify why AFSPA is required in the State in the larger interest of security," he said.
It is in place to mention here that the government last year formed two committees to review the applicability of AFSPA in the State. The two committees were headed by GoC of Srinagar based 15 Corps and GoC of Nagorta-based 16 Corps.
