evidence: Union home minister Amit Shah has indicated that the Centre would revoke AFSPA (Armed Forces Special Powers Act from J&K. In an interview to Gulistan News, Shah said the situation is normal. "We are considering revocation of AFSPA. The government has already drawn a roadmap for the withdrawal of troops and that the process will be initiated after elections," as quoted by The Hindu. [...] The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958, was completely withdrawn in Meghalaya in 2018, Tripura in 2015 and Mizoram in the 1980s. The Centre’s announcement of reducing the "disturbed area" under AFSPA in the Northeast was made by Amit Shah based on the recommendations of a high-level committee set up to examine the possibility of lifting the law after the killing of 14 civilians by the Army in Nagaland’s Mon district in December 2021.
