Deputy CM says no to AFSPA revocation in valley 6/24/2015 10:38:39 PM Early Times Report JAMMU, June 24: The Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Nirmal Singh has ruled out repealing of Armed Forces Special Forces Act (AFSPA) in the state in immediate future and said that the Central government will have final say on the decision. In an interview with Business Standard, Singh said the situation in the valley is not conducive for revocation of AFSPA "at this juncture". "There are stray instances of militant attacks... This act cannot be discontinued for now. It is for the Central government to decide," he said. He said that the government will not compromise on national interest and that it will continue to take stern action against separatists and militants. When asked on the government's stand on Hurriyat leader Syed Ali Geelani, Singh said they "will not allow Geelani to undertake anti-national activities in the state or hold his controversial seminar of separatist leaders". "He has been placed under the house arrest. Separatist groups should note that the government will not allow any kind of anti-national activity in J&K," he said.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
