Congress Manifesto: “Will withdraw the AFSPA, reduce army presence if voted”.
Patronising private armies in the guise of cow protection or moral policing. Murderously attacking Dalits and Muslims. Private armies’ unrestricted activities leading to incidents of mob lynching. [...] • Repeal the Armed Forces Special Powers Act and replace it with a suitable law which provides a legal framework for the operation of the armed forces without the draconian provisions. [...] • Complete withdrawal of AFSPA.
