Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said efforts are on to remove AFSPA completely from the northeast region.
In Assam, PM Modi said, "In the states where there is a double engine government, work is done with the spirit of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas'."
"AFSPA revoked from many parts of northeast as law and order situation improved, efforts on to remove it entirely from NE," said PM Modi.
The role of Army in matters of internal security is a minimal one, the defence minister said.
Underlining that the Army has a "minimum role" in matters of internal security, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said the Army only wants the situation to improve in Jammu and Kashmir so that the AFSPA can be removed from the area.
