A law brought in to suppress militant groups has been accused of inflicting injustice on civilians.

The ongoing Armed Forces Special Powers Act 1958 in 7 northeastern states, including Nagaland, assam and Arunachal Pradesh, has had some devastating consequences for each period. 

In the aftermath, 13 people were killed last week in an attack by the army on factory workers in Nagaland who were thought to be militants, which has sent shockwaves across the country.

Need special authority?

Our people value the police as the pinnacle of power. The background to this is that the three forces are responsible for protecting the country, which is the infinite power base beyond that. 

However, no major military operations were carried out in the southern states after India's independence. Very rarely, these forces are only involved in protecting people during disasters. But the situation is different in the data-border states of the country.

In particular, people in the Northeastern states, with cultures and ethnic groups that transcend India's diversity, have been living under military rule for more than 60 years.

For this very reason, even after India's independence from british rule, the naga ethnic groups continued to fight for secession. The Armed Forces Special Powers Act was proposed by the indian army to suppress these groups and other militant groups. Rajendra Prasad, the then President of india in 1958, approved it.

The law was said to be aimed at curbing violence in the northeastern states. 

The accusation that injustices are being inflicted on civilians by the powerful hands of a law brought in to suppress militant groups continues over time. 

This is the basis for the question of whether this special power is needed anymore.

Excessive power can be unjust!

If violence is found to continue in a state, areas controlled by the state government will be brought under military control. The military can take any action, including firing, to maintain law and order. 

Any consequences, including fatalities, cannot be prosecuted in court. The law includes various features, including the fact that those taken by the military for interrogation can be handed over to the police at any time without any deadline. 

Throughout the year, one can only imagine what devastation there will be in areas under military control. We can only imagine how many problems they would have data-faced from generation to generation.

Nagaland people protest!

Although the law is currently repealed in Tripura and Meghalaya, it continues in other northeastern states. punjab and kashmir - SRINAGAR/JAMMU' target='_blank' title='jammu and kashmir-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">jammu and kashmir also have a history of enforcing the law. 

Announcing the repeal of the Act, the Union home Ministry said that only the Union government could respond to the reluctance of states, including Nagaland, to issue such notices.

Chief minister Nebu Rio has announced that the legislature will discuss whether the Armed Forces Special Act is needed, at the urging of a number of naga student organizations in the state, including women's organizations. 

Social activists are of the opinion that such special laws, which challenge the very constitution of the country, help to enslave the people. This is the stage where the years of negotiations with the naga groups have reached a serious stage. 

The grip of the law will no longer allow the people of the Northeastern state to live with the trauma for generations. 

The alternative form of a law created by the british government to suppress what is considered hostile is the expectation of the majority that the atrocities that will be inflicted on the people of their own country in the democratic sphere after the passage of time must now be avoided!
