In a significant development, discussions around the potential repeal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) in Jammu and Kashmir have gained momentum amidst a 'positive shift'. Union Home Minister Amit Shah indicated that the central government 'will consider it in future', leaving law and order responsibilities to the Jammu and Kashmir police. This statement was made amidst a backdrop of various political reactions. Former Deputy Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and BJP leader, Kavinder Gupta, and PDP Chief Mehbooba Mufti have expressed their views on the matter, with Mufti highlighting the party's long-standing demand for the act's revocation, referring to it as 'draconian'. National Conference leader Omar Abdullah also commented on the situation, suggesting that if conditions in Kashmir have improved as claimed, the repeal of AFSPA should commence immediately. Iltija Mufti criticized the BJP for 'luring people with false promises' regarding the act's removal.
