Sarma, however, said that no wants to continue with AFSPA if the law and order situation is peaceful and conducive.<\/p>\n

Stating that no state government will want to continue with AFSPA if the law and order situation is peaceful and conducive, he said “I am only saying this in the context of our state and notNagaland<\/u>because I have no jurisdiction to do so. On Nagaland I do not have any assessment. I do not want to comment on the situation that exists in that state,” he added.<\/p>\n

The Act was imposed in Assam in November 1990 and has been extended every six months since then after a review by the state government.<\/p>\n
