NEW DELHI, Mar 5:
BJP today expressed its disagreement with Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah over repealing of Armed Forces Special Powers Act, saying the State should not speak against this law as it has already passed a similar legislation in its Assembly.
“Omar Abdullah’s own State has proposed a law which has virtually the same provisions as AFSPA. The Jammu and Kashmir Police Act is similar to AFSPA. People can see the difference between his words and deeds,” BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar told reporters.
He insisted that Omar and his Government cannot oppose AFSPA when they have a similar law in force.(PTI)
