GUWAHATI
The Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act has put Prime Minister Narendra Modi and former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on the same page in the Naga-inhabited hills of poll-bound Manipur.
The repeal of the AFSPA, said to give the armed forces personnel the license to kill, has been a major poll issue in the Naga areas of Manipur. As expected, the controversial law was the focus of a rally to launch the campaign of the Naga People’s Front (NPF) in Manipur’s Senapati on Wednesday.
