AFSPA will continue in Nagaland: Rijiju
Nagaland Post | Agencies | New Delhi, May 1 (
Union Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju said Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958, will continue in Nagaland as it is a “special case” and the “peace agreement” hasn’t been finalized there yet. Apart from eight police stations in Arunachal Pradesh, where ASFPA continues to be imposed, Nagaland, Manipur and Assam are the only three States in the North East that continue to be under AFSPA.
According to The Hindu report, Nagaland’s deputy chief minister, Y. Patton said the State government would reiterate its request to the Centre to revoke AFSPA. “The discussion on the Naga political situation is on and we are expecting the Government of India to solve the problem at the earliest. We have requested to lift AFSPA but we have been asked to wait for some time. When the solution (Naga deal) comes, automatically AFSPA will go,” Patton said.
