Hindustan Times | Ifrah Mufti | Chandigarh, Sep 29, 2016
Activist Irom Sharmila wants no one to fast like she did “but stay with your cause with dedication, sincerity and perseverance”. Now ready to fight the Manipur assembly polls due early next year, she said in Chandigarh on Wednesday, “I would rather have won hearts of the people by offering myself, my love and kindness, my positivity and my selflessness.”
Sharmila, 44, ended her 16-year-fast against the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act or AFSPA last month and said she wants to the chief minister of Manipur to be able to fight against the “draconian” law from within the system. On Wednesday, she was in Chandigarh to inaugurate the 11th annual Global Peace Festival being organised by the NGO Yuvsatta.
