"Omar Abdullah's own state has passed a law which has virtually the same provisions as AFSPA. The Jammu and Kashmir Police Act is similar to AFSPA. People can see the difference between his words and deeds," BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar told reporters.
He insisted that Omar and his government cannot oppose AFSPA when they have a similar law in force.
He also referred to Irom Sharmila, the North-East activist who has been on a hunger strike for over a decade, saying if she (Sharmila) can talk about it why can't he speak against it.
"One woman has been on a hunger strike for 12 years just to campaign against the AFSPA law. In comparison to that, I have done nothing. All I say is remove the law where it is unnecessary," Abdullah said.
AFSPA, passed in 1958, has drawn flak due to alleged misuse of powers by the security forces.
