NEW DELHI: Home Minister P Chidambaram has said that he shared the disappointment of Manipur activist Irom Sharmila, who has been fasting for the last 10 years demanding the repeal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act in the state.
"I too am disappointed," Chidambaram said when asked to comment on Sharmila's recent regret over the government's failure to do anything about the controversial Act even 10 years into her struggle. "MHA is trying its best to revisit AFSPA. But one needs to build consensus," he pointed out, in an apparent reference to the stiff opposition of the Defence Ministry and the armed forces to any dilution in AFSPA. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news...829347.cms These shameless politicians have already damaged the fabric of society by regularizing the division of society along casteist lines and now they want to weaken Armed Forces too. Simply don't call Army and deal it yourself.
