Imphal, March 28, 2014:
Irom Sharmila has lamented that she could not appear in person in the Delhi Court where she is being adjudicated in absentia on the charge of attempting to commit suicide.
Sharmila is charged under IPC Section 309 for attempting to commit suicide in connection with a fasting episode at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi against AFSPA and she should be produced before the Delhi Court on March 29. Nonetheless, Sharmila was produced before the Court of CJM Imphal East today.
Speaking to media persons at the Court premises, Sharmila regretted that she would not be able to appear before the Delhi Court because the Government of Manipur has no money to take her to Delhi.
She went on to ask if the sum of Rs four lakh she donated to the International Committee of Red Cross through AMWJU has been delivered.
