Times of India | Oinam Sunil, TNN | Aug 23, 2011, 05.36PM IST
Manipur's 'iron lady' Irom Sharmila Chanu, whose case many Anna Hazare critics have been referring to, on Tuesday expressed her solidarity with the Gandhian's anti-corruption movement.
Sharmila's support for the anti-corruption movement, came after the Team Anna on last Saturday invited her to join the movement for a strong Jan Lok Pal Bill. Babloo Loitongbam, human rights activist and close associate of Sharmila, told TOI on Tuesday that she wrote the letter while being in judicial custody after receiving Anna's invitation.
Quoting her letter, Babloo said that she would not be able to attend Anna's fast as she was in the judicial custody. But she has expressed her solidarity with Anna's crusade against corruption, he added. In her letter, Sharmila said that corruption was wide spread in Manipur and it was the root cause of all the problems. She also invited Anna to visit Manipur.
