AFSPA: 'No is not an option,' Omar tells Army
The marathon meeting of the Unified Command in Srinagar on Wednesday has accentuated the communication gap between Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and the Army. The Chief Minister today appeared defiant saying his government has the authority to revoke the controversial law. "I have the authority. The elected state government of any state has the authority. In this case (revocation of AFSPA), the authority rests with the Governor who would act on the basis of the state government's recommendations."
