Solution

The correct option is C anti-national
To curb the militant activity of the tribals in the hilly areas of Manipur, the government deployed the army in the region. In 1958, it gave the army special powers to maintain law and order. This was done under AFSPA, a short form for the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. The act gives the right to the army to arrest or shoot any person under suspicion of being involved in anti-national activities.
