The Tribune dated 28th December 2023

Shiromani Akali Dal Amritsar states that killing innocent Kashmiri Muslims, the armed forces have not committed mistakes but this is the policy of THIS (Theocratic Hindu Indian State) under the draconian law AFSPA (Armed Forces Special Powers Act) to kill, maim, kidnap, abduct, murder, rape, molest, torture, detain any person for an endless time, with impunity.

This law contravenes Article 21 of the Constitution which states that no person can be deprived of his life and liberty without following the procedure laid down by law.

Yet the Supreme Court which is the guardian of the Constitution is not willing to strike this inhuman law and declare it ultra vires the Constitution.

Cases of murder must be registered against the accused officers of the armed forces and exemplary punishments must be meeted out in all cases of extra judicial murders, including the massacre of 43 innocent Sikh’s in village Chithisinghpura of Kashmir in 2000, when former President Bill Clinton and his Secretary of State Madeline Albright visited the Hindu Indian state and then Prime Minister was A.B Vajpayee. L.K. Advani was the Union Home Minister at that period of time and he must also be brought to trial.
