This comes on the backdrop of the botched anti-insurgency operation and subsequent retaliatory firing in Nagaland left 14 civilians and one Army personnel dead.
The Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) is counter-productive and has caused "more unrest", Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad - whose party National People's Party is a member of the National Democratic Alliance - said today.
"We have decided to urge Centre once again to repeal this draconian Act," Mr Sangma told NDTV.
This comes on the backdrop of the botched anti-insurgency operation and subsequent retaliatory firing in Nagaland left 14 civilians and one Army personnel dead.
"The stand that we have taken on AFSPA has been there for a long time - right from my father PA Sangma's time," Conrad Sangma said.
