Omar Govt's Decision To Revoke AFSPA Took All By Surprise : PDP

New Delhi, Dec 3: Commending the Army for maintaining security in Jammu and Kashmir, main opposition People’s Democratic Party chief Mehbooba Mufti today counselled caution about the move by Omar Abdullah government to revoke Armed Forces Special Powers Act from parts of the state.

Talking to reporters after attending a seminar at the Hindustan Times Summit here, Mehbooba said Omar’s move seeking revocation of the controversial law from some areas of Jammu and Kashmir has taken “everyone by surprise, even the Army”.

“Revocation of AFSPA, withdrawl of security forces from the civilian areas are articles of faith as far as we are concerned because we feel the security forces have done a commendable job,” she said.
