Outgoing Assembly: Manipur

The hated Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) is the biggest election issue in Manipur.

All parties claim they will get the law, which gives sweeping powers to security forces, scrapped but none of them has told people how.

Citizens’ groups have been protesting against the law for years but the Centre till now has only promised modifications in the Act.

Perhaps, the party which tells the voters what exactly it would do about the AFSPA will get their votes.
