Citing the Supreme Court’s recent observation, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who has been pitching for partial revocation of Armed Force Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in the state, today said the statute was not aimed at protecting acts of crime.
“AFSPA is for legitimate protection and not for protection of the acts of crime. And that is something we have always maintained,” Omar told reporters here.
