Varun Gandhi tweets on Irom Sharmila - Call for 'respect and sympathy'
The Telegraph | New Delhi, Sept. 21:
Pilibhit MP and BJP national secretary Varun Gandhi yesterday became the first mainstream politician to reach out a hand of sympathy and a measure of respect towards Irom Sharmila, the crusader from Manipur.
In a tweet posted on his account yesterday, Rahul Gandhi’s cousin said, “The tragedy of Irom Sharmila’s 11-year-long fast being ignored by the Centre reflects the greater tragedy of the national neglect of the Northeast.”
Varun proposed that the Centre should send a parliamentary delegation to call on Sharmila in Imphal. “I would like to be part of a parliamentary delegation that shows due respect to Sharmila’s struggle by calling upon her, to understand the issue and re-examine public solutions.”
