A healthy Irom Sharmila can espouse the larger cause of her people
Sify News | Jaibans Singh | ANI September 13
There is not one person in India or the world who would not appreciate Irom Sharmila's peaceful commitment to her cause and not empathise with her.
Yet, her cause has not been able to gain centre stage or strike the collective will of the nation. It can be reasoned that the remoteness of the North-East region results in limited engagement with the media for which reason the issue has not impacted the national conscience. But then, even the people of Manipur have not risen to, at least, propel their own government into action and find ways and means to ameliorate her suffering.
In fact, the trickle of development that is happening is mainly due to the presence of the Army and the application of AFSPA which keeps the insurgents on check and ensures a semblance of law and order.
If AFSPA is removed the region will, most likely, degenerate into absolute chaos. Insurgents will rule the roost and cause widespread mayhem; whatever little development is happening will cease.
