Uploaded in Facebook | 24 Aug 2011
Anna Hazare's protest against corruption has been accepted by the whole nation while the long protest by Irom Sharmila has been ignored by both the GOI and the media.Follow the link to read the entire news here
Irom Sharmila says, "If Mahatma Gandhi was alive today, he would have launched a protest against AFSPA". Even though we the people from the Northeast and JK thinks that we are a part of India, GOI and Indian Army doesn't believe so.
An excellent example would be, when the Union Home Minister claimed that it is impossible for Army to act without AFSPA in the NE, it did reject the proposal of applying the same act on the Maoist affected areas of India. The Army General of India had stated that AFSPA is not applicable on the brothers and sisters of India.
Irom Sharmila's question to the GOI is that, Why can't they look towards the people of NE in the same way they look at the other Indians. Are we still Indians????
