They went all out to support Anna Hazare's fast against corruption, and now netizens are rooting for Manipur's 'Iron Lady' Irom Chanu Sharmila, who has been on hunger strike for 10 years to demand repealing of AFSPA, a controversial law that gives sweeping powers to the armed forces.
"After Anna Hazare's effort, I am supporting Irom Chanu Sharmila. Are you?" writes Bhautik Sheth on Facebook.
"If the demand for Anna can be met in a few hours of fast, why her demand can't be met when she is on a fast for 10 years?" writes Reshma.
"Anna's fast got its hearing, why not Irom," writes Asha Singh, a Madhya Pradesh based journalist on her Facebook page.
Micro-blogging site Twitter too has comments comparing Sharmila's fast to that of Gandhian Anna Hazare, reminding people about her and asking why her fast has not been heard.
The page has so far been supported by over 8,400 people.
Let us all give her the support we can give.
