AFSPA has blackened India's image; must be removed, says Nagaland CM

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Monday said that the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) has blackened the image of India and should be removed.

“We are Indians and India is the biggest democratic country in the world. AFSPA is a draconian law and should be removed from our country. Many laws can be handled. But this law has blackened the image of our country. This is my opinion,” Neiphiu Rio said.
