Official sources said that this instruction has been conveyed to the state Government headed by Mufti Mohammad Sayeed after the Chief Minister pleaded for immediate withdrawal of the AFSPA at least from some districts where the militancy related violence had registered marked improvement. Sources said that the Government of India has come to believe that without the nod from the Ministry of Defence and the Union Home Ministry there was no question of either diluting the AFSPA or its revocation. Reports said that the recent incidents of ceasefire violations by Pakistani troops and the R angers on the IB in order to push groups of militants into Jammu and Kashmir, series of encounters between the militants and the Army in which more than eight militants and three Armymen were killed in north Kashmir border area, coupled with the recent grenade attacks on mobile towers which led to closure of cell ;phone services indicated that militants continued to be not only active but were on the offensive. Hence the Government of India has suggested to the state Government to wait for some time more so that the issue of withdrawal of the AFSPA was linked with the security scenario and not with the demand of political leaders, including the separatists.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
