Taking a dig at PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti's statement over giving army an "honourable exit" from Jammu and Kashmir,Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today sought explanation on the issue and asked whether she meant AFSPA should stay till the armed forces agree to its revocation. "Mehbooba says I should give the army an honourable exit. Would she care to define that? Does she mean AFSPA should stay till they agree?" he wrote in mircro-blogging site Twitter. While praising the Army for maintaining security in J-K,Mehbooba had yesterday said Omar should give "honourable exit" to the security forces and cautioned him about his proposal to revoke Armed Forces Special Powers Act from some parts of the state. The Chief Minister seeking revocation of AFSPA has taken "everyone by surprise,even the Army.Revocation of AFSPA,withdrawal of security forces from the civilian areas are articles of faith as far as we are concerned because we feel the security forces have done a commendable job," she had told reporters in New Delhi. Omar also tweeted,"I'd lift it (AFSPA) tomorrow if I was reasonably confident it won't be used to spread lies,rumours & fear as news."
