The state government and the army would start dialogue on the revocation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) as a sequel to the first meeting between Army Chief Gen Bikram Singh and Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in Srinagar on Saturday.
Follow up:
The matter was hanging fire for the past over seven months as the Army was not willing to concede to the state government’s proposal to withdraw the special powers of the security forces from six districts.
The sensitive issue came up during the discussions and it was agreed that consultations on the issue would start.
No promise was made by the Army Chief whether there would be any change in the Army’s position. He was, however, willing to open the turf of dialogue wherein search for middle ground would be launched.
There was a contrast in the approach and attitudes as well, as this meeting came in the backdrop of the fact that Gen Singh’s predecessor Gen V K Singh had not called on the Chief Minister during his farewell visit to the state, underlining the frigid relationship between the two, especially on the issue of the revocation of the AFSPA that provides legal immunity to the security forces from their acts of omission and commission while fighting terrorism.
“We were always on a stand-by mode. Now we will be moving forward in search of a middle ground though the final call would be taken by the Central government,” a top source in the government told The Tribune .
However, the final call on the issue would be taken by the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Home Affairs in consultations with the state government. The positive thing to emerge is that the talks in which the two sides were to search for the middle ground on the revocation of AFSPA in a gradual manner would at least start.
Omar was pleading for the removal of AFSPA from areas like districts of Budgam and Srinagar from the Kashmir Valley, Jammu, Samba, Kathua from the Jammu region. The army was pointing out to its fears that such an action would hurt its logistics and also feared that the militants would reactivate themselves in such areas.
