MHA against repealing AFSPA
Nagaland Post | Agencies | New Delhi, Mar 2 ():
Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has recommended against repealing the controversial Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, dubbed by its critics as “draconian”. In a report submitted to the Cabinet Committee of Security, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Ministry said that the report of the Justice B.P. Jeevan Reddy committee, which recommended repeal of the law terming it as “a symbol of oppression” should be rejected.
“We have recommended to the Union Cabinet to reject the report of Justice Jeevan Reddy committee,” a Home Ministry official said. The Defence Ministry is also opposed to any dilution of the Act and has said that the forces operating in insurgency-prone areas are protected by the AFSPA from “harassment” .
