Irom Sharmila challenges Centre - Manipur crusader urges anna to look northeast
The Telegraph | Nishit Dholabhai | SSeptember 6
Irom Chanu Sharmila has thrown a challenge to the Centre and to the people of the country to take up the cause of the Northeast and its peoples’ right to life.
Speaking to The Telegraph in Imphal on Saturday, Sharmila said the standards by which the Northeast and the rest of India were treated were different but did not differentiate between the government and the people while talking about the partial treatment.
Sharmila felt it was unpalatable for the government that the people of the Northeast were “rebellious”. “They don’t like to treat us like mainstream people…in their eyes we are inferior classes, we are rebellious. They like to suppress us because they are scared of us and our stamina. In the field of games and sports also we are indomitable,” she said, with the metaphorical punch of fellow Manipuri boxer Mary Kom.
