The Tribune dated 08th April 2024

Shiromani Akali Dal states that fake encounters and extra judicial killings are a normal occurrence in Jammu & Kashmir where the beastly law AFSPA (Armed Forces Special Powers Act) operates under which the security forces by law can 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.
