Irom Sharmila looks forward to Anna visit
Times of India | TNN | Aug 31, 2011, 08.21AM IST
Irom Sharmila Chanu, who is on an indefinite fast for the last 10 years seeking repeal of the controversial Armed Forces (Special) Powers Act, has expressed gratitude to Anna Hazare for deciding to visit Manipur to support her campaign.
"If he comes to support my stir, it will be really good for the people. It's up to his conscience whether he would fast or not. But I will not insist him to do so," the Iron Lady said.
A core committee member of India Against Corruption has already said Anna would soon visit the state to support Sharmila's cause. Notwithstanding the media report of the Gandhian's visit, Sharmila also invited Anna to join her campaign against Afspa in Manipur.
Earlier, Team Anna's core committee member Arvind Kejriwal had invited Sharmila to join Anna's agitation at Ramlila ground. While supporting Anna's movement, Sharmila had said she could not join him in Delhi as she was in judicial custody and state authorities would not allow her to leave Manipur. She, however, expressed solidarity with Anna's cause from Imphal.
