Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir)Special Powers Act, 1990 is a Central Act.This Act can be enforced in an area which is declared to be a disturbed area either by Central or by the State Govt. The Jammu and Kashmir Govt, on 6/7/1990, issued a notification declaring certain areas to be disturbed in terms of section 3 of the ACT.
The AFSPA, in the state of J&K, is thus operative because of 6th July notification issued by the State Govt.
It is well settled principle of law that an authority who has power to issue a notification has power to revoke it. Therefore, I have no doubt in my mind that if State Govt wants, it can revoke or modify the 6/7 notification.
Why is then the state CM going door to door seeking revocation from areas which according to him are not disturbed?

Because he wants Indias blessings for the Indian agenda, he is the implementing arm of The govt. of india. After all he is the CM of J&K because of the union.. If you really think that he has people's mandate... Then let me just say, you are too polite :p
