Attari: Home Minister Rajnath Singh said on Sunday that this was not the right time for the withdrawal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in Jammu and Kashmir. The remark came following two latest incidents of fidayeen (suicide squads) attacking a police station and an army establishment in the Jammu sector close to the border with Pakistan.

"AFSPA ko samapta karne ke abhi halaat nahin hai (The situation is not conducive to ending AFSPA)," Rajnath Singh said while addressing media here on Sunday evening. The home minister questioned Pakistan on why it was turning green fields red by supporting terrorism. He said it was high time for Pakistan to introspect its actions in supporting terrorism.
