BJP to lift AFSPA to end J&K stalemate?

February 18, 2016 09:33

BJP general secretary Ram Madhav met PDP president Mehbooba Mufti at her residence on Wednesday and, according to sources, conveyed to her the Centre's willingness to lift the contentious Armed Forces Special Powers Act on a trial basis from Jammu and Kashmir. Madhav also spoke of handing over two power projects to the state to end the 40-day deadlock over government formation.

Following former CM Mufti Mohammad Sayeed's death last month, his daughter Mehbooba has delayed government formation with BJP, seeking specific concessions from the Centre "to rebuild confidence in her party cadre".
