Jammu: The Jammu and
Kashmir cabinet is likely to meet Monday to examine the situation
with the Armed Forces Special Powers Act still in force in the
state, despite Chief Minister Omar Abdullah's declaration in
October that it would go "within days", informed sources said.
The cabinet meeting would be held against the backdrop of the
raging controversy over the continuance of the AFSPA in Jammu and
Kashmir and the chief minister unable to get it revoked despite
his persistent efforts and meetings with Prime Minister Manmohan
Singh, Defence Minister A.K. Antony and Home Minister P.
Chidambaram, the sources told IANS.
"The cabinet meeting was overdue as it could not be held since the
chief minister was out of the country for 10 days," a minister
told IANS.
