AFSPA grants the military wide powers of arrest, the right to shoot to kill, and to occupy or destroy property in counterinsurgency operations.
Debates around the pros and cons of the law have made headlines for three decades.
And now, the defence minister of the country has said that a time will come when the government will remove the AFSPA from Jammu and Kashmir.
Singh made the remarks while addressing a national security conclave in Jammu.
He delivered a keynote address to the security conclave.
The objective of the conclave was to deliberate on internal and external dimensions of the country's defence mechanism with focus on J&K.
