AFSPA decision

Wait for political advice: Army chief

Pondicherry, Sept 17:  The chief of army staff, General VK Singh, has said it's not for the army to answer on the Kashmir issue and the political leadership has to take a decision.
On the contentious Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) General Singh said, "that's all for the leadership to decide....army does not decide all those."
"The whole thing is under active consideration of the Prime Minister. I think we should wait for political advice," added General Singh when asked if a strategic model was the need of the hour.
General VK Singh asserted that the army has brought peace in all regions.
