In view of Prime Minister of Pakistan's latest speech in the Azad Kashmir area to the effect that he is waiting for the time when Kashmir becomes part of Pakistan, Ms. Mufti's suggestion to temporarily put aside an AFSPA for some of the areas in J & K sounds really temporary because Pakistan is not going to decrease its emphasis on the militancy activities in that area. However, just to appease her, may be the central government ought to give this suggestion a chance to see if situation improves in the area where this Act is temporarily put on hold. But this request should be acceded to only predicated on a few conditions, and they could be that it will be the responsibility of her local government to make sure there are no anti-India demonstrations, processions, no unfurling of ISIS and Pakistani flags, no damage to the state property and no killings of innocent civilians.  Would that be acceptable to Ms. Mufti?  Is she confident enough and have faith in the capability of her local police to deliver this commitment?  If so, it may be worth trying, failing which the central government reserves the right to restore AFSPA immediately.
