National Conference (NC) vice president Omar Abdullah accused BJP leader Gen (retd) V.K. Singh of sabotaging the revocation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) during the UPA-2 government when he was the Army chief.
"The home minister remembers AFSPA now. I fought for it (revocation of AFSPA) since 2011 when I was the chief minister. Where from did its opposition come from? It was Gen V.K. Singh, who was his ministerial colleague, and who was the chief of armed staff when I was the chief minister.
