proper balance between AFSPA and humane laws
by ashish sinha on Feb 22, 2007 03:49 AM

our govt shud seriously think of repealing AFSPA and replacing it with a humane law. insurgency can be irrelevant if it does not have local support.

We need to local support for our army and not for the insurgents. And this should be done as soon as possible.

If people do not see army as saviour, then its a serious issue which must be taken care of. There should be speedy tribunals to listen to people's woes arising out of army action.

However, people must also know that counter insurgency excercises often involve civillian casualities. These can only be reduced not eliminated completely.
