Revocation of black law AFSPA?

The puppet Chief Minister of occupied Kashmir, Omar Abdullah, on October 21, this year, said that Armed Forces Special Act (AFSPA), a draconian law that provides unbridled powers to Indian troops in Jammu and Kashmir, would be revoked from some areas very soon. However, despite the passage of several weeks the announcement is yet to materialize, ostensibly due to the opposition by Indian army. It seems that the CM had made the declaration without considering the reality that he had no authority to take such a decision.

The reaction of Indian army on Omar Abdullah's avowal was also very interesting. To highlight the importance of continuation of the AFSPA in Jammu and Kashmir, one of the army officials stated that India would be forced to give freedom to the Kashmiris if the Act was withdrawn. This is an acknowledgement of the fact that India was continuing its illegal hold on Jammu and Kashmir by virtue of its military might.
The resistance of the move by the Indian army in the occupied territory tells the real story that actually all the affairs in Jammu and Kashmir are being run by the army and the administration have very little role to play regarding any of such issues.
It is an open secret that Indian army would never allow withdrawal of the AFSPA as it provided impunity to its personnel for their actions. It authorizes them to conduct a search operation without any warrant, arrest and even shoot to kill any person on mere suspicion. Under the Act troopers cannot be tried in a court of law without prior permission from the government of India. It is because of the AFSPA that none of the trooper has been executed or punished so far for his involvement in the killing of people and other human rights violations even if he was indicted by inquiries conducted in such incidents.
Seeing the opposing of the move by the army, Omar Abdullah approached his masters in New Delhi seeking their help for the repeal of the AFSPA from the territory. He spent many days in India but so far his efforts have not shown positive results.
Later, to cover up his failure in revoking the AFSPA and in an attempt to appease the army, he suggested amendment in the prevailing Criminal Procedure Code. He categorically stated his motive that simultaneously with the revocation of the AFSPA he would make a move to amend the CrPC to provide a legal cover to the actions of Indian army personnel. The announcement exposed the real face of the puppet Chief Minister showing that he could go to any extent to prove his loyalty to New Delhi.
Legal experts are of the opinion that amendment in CrPC would be much more disastrous for the human rights situation in the territory because it would be a perpetual immunity to Indian forces.
The Chairman of All Parties Hurriyet Conference, Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, the veteran Kashmiri Hurriyet leader, Syed Ali Gilani and other liberation leaders warned the occupation authorities against the introduction of any legislation that would provide more lethal powers to the armed forces. They said that any such attempt would be resisted tooth and nail.
History stands testimony to the fact that pro-India parties particularly National Conference and Peoples Democratic Party have never been sincere in the repeal of draconian laws. They make hue and cry over the issue to derive political mileage and to hoodwink the Kashmiris. They have no interest to work for betterment of the oppressed people of the territory.
It is the right time for the puppet administration to stop deceiving the innocent Kashmiris and accept the reality that it had no powers to invoke or revoke any law in the territory and the final say would come from New Delhi and the Indian Army.
