Lip service on AFSPA

IFP Bureau19 Nov 2024

AFSPA was lifted from the Imphal Municipal area in 2004 and gradually it was lifted from areas under the jurisdiction of 19 police stations in the valley districts during the BJP regime. We also understand that, BJP extended the withdrawal of AFSPA from Imphal Municipal area to whole of the valley purely on political considerations despite objections from the security establishment.
