the law allows any security personal to arrest, detain and interrogate anybody on the basis of suspicion. it don't allow to shoot a person on the basis of suspicion. and the law provide legal immunity to security personal if they shoot a terrorists. this is a necessary law.
It allows security forces to shoot and kill on the basis of mere suspicion. And no legal action can be taken if the shot person later turns out to be innocent. You have much reading to do here.
where are you from?? even Americans won't Praise their law like this. who told you that india don't give importance to Human rights?? how many soldiers are punised in inida?? did any soldiers of US or Pakistan is punished for their human right violation??
If India gives importance to human rights then why is a Gandhian activist like Irom Sharmila under arrest? Her crime is going on hunger strike for 14 straight years. She is kept alive by being forcibly nose-fed. In Kashmir BJP can team up with separatists to form government, Kasab was fed biryani in a 5-star cell and a human rights activist is a persecuted criminal.
US soldiers were tried and sentenced to prison for killing indiscriminately in Iraq. US was in war with Iraq and the soldiers could have gone away by saying they were killing enemy. But the US holds law supreme.
terrorists are exploring the loopholes of democracy, in that case we need AFSPA to suppress the armed insurgency. c'mon even soldiers are humans, they need to protected, did you send your son who is a soldier to a place where, if a soldier shoots a terrorts then he will be punished to for shooting a man?? no. this for what AFSPA is given, which will give the soldiers a necessary protection to do their job, which is to protect the country from the terrorts.
Terrorists are forming government in Kashmir with BJP support. It is an irony which right-wingers happily ignore because of obvious reasons.
Insurgency cannot be solved by military action, if it is otherwise then why is army not deployed to fight maoists?
Soldiers job is risky, and a soldier needs to face the risks or not wear the uniform at all. If a soldier shoots an innocent man in Indian soil then the soldier needs to face the law like any other Indian. A soldiers job is to protect his country from external aggression. AFSPA does not cover external aggression it gives legal immunity to soldiers operating in India. AFSPA thus cannot be allowed.
AFSPA is only for the areas where insurgency is high. in china and in pakistan or burma AFSPA is in their entair country. there is difference. sitting in a AC room and you can ask for removing the AFSPA which protect our soldiers from this terrorists. AFSPA help our soldiers to do their duty fearlessly, and effectively. this AFSPA made Srinagar more safer than Islamabad.
China does not have any law like AFSPA. Do not talk of AC rooms when you are yourself not a soldier, spare the keyboard rhetoric here.
AFSPA does not help the situation in any way, else terrorism would not have been continuing in Kashmir. There were no mass protests in Kashmir prior to AFSPA, there is now. AFSPA only alienates people.
