"AFSPA has provisions of shoot to kill mere on probability, but it does not stop here, instead it goes beyond and says that no case can be lodged against any security personals without pre sanction from central government.

Sadly, in all such years, no approval was given by central government and despite hundreds of reported cases of fake killings, torture and rapes, nothing could be done to punish culprits."

Such a law is a violation of human rights and has no place in democracy. We need to keep the state power in check and make its actions accountable to the people.

So we should add "Repeal AFSPA" in our manifesto.
