It took Anna Hazare all of 10 days to move the Govt out of its slumber. Its taken Irom Sharmila 10 years but Irom Sharmila's crusade has only fallen on deaf ears.
The support for iron lady from Manipur, Irom Sharmila has gained momentum. Various students organizations under the banner of North East Students Organization (NESO) took out a candlelight vigil in Guwahati on Monday (24th April) supporting Irom Sharmilas 10 years of crusade demanding repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) from North East.
NESO fully supports Anna Hazares fight against corruption, but at the same time wants that Sharmilas decade long fight to save innocent civilians from the atrocities of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act should not get ignored and there should not be any discriminatory attitude towards the people of the Northeast.
Will India only respond to well known activists and movie stars ?
