Lt. Gen. (Retd.) Syed Ata Hasnain, Ex-GOC of 15 Corps, Jammu and Kashmir, talks to Newsclick India and The Citizen on the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in Kashmir. He says the AFSPA was brought in for a particular purpose, which was to assist in finding peace in Kashmir. He argues that if today in 2014, we find that we have actually established peace in the manner we sought it, then there is no reason why AFSPA should not be repealed. But the moot point is have we achieved peace, he questions.
