Manipur people are with Sharmila: Author
The Telegraph | Guwahati, Aug. 26
The people of Manipur have not turned their backs on Irom Sharmila after she broke her fast recently, Manipuri author and activist Binalakshmi Nepram said during an interactive programme here today.
"It is not true that the people of Manipur have shunned Irom Sharmila after she broke her 16-year-long hunger strike. The fact is they were unable to provide her with shelter on the day she ended her fast because they were ill-equipped to take care of her. For 16 long years she had not eaten a morsel and was nose-fed. Since she has started eating solids again, she requires medical care so that her body can recuperate and regain strength. The people who had refused to take her in did so out of fear. The Manipuri government too did not handle the issue well," Nepram said.
