AAP distances itself from Prashant Bhushan's remarks on Kashmir referendum

New Delhi: Aam Aadmi Party today distanced itself from the views of its senior leader Prashant Bhushan that a referendum should be carried out in Kashmir to decide on deployment of the army to deal

He said, "AAP does not support referendum on such issues."

Bhushan had said a referendum should be carried out in Kashmir to decide on deployment of the army to deal with internal security threats in the Valley.

He had also batted for lifting of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) in J-K, saying it gave the army immunity in cases of human rights violation while causing alienation among the people.
