New Delhi, March 04 2013:
The Manipur Student Association of Delhi, the Save Democracy Repeal AFSPA group and other student and supporters today condemn the charges framed against Irom Sharmila at the Metropolitan Magistrate in Patiala Court .
More than a 100 students and Sharmila supporters gathered at Patiala Court in support to the Iron Lady of Manipur.
Denied permission , the supporters of Sharmila and Campaign for repeal of AFSPA and others staged a demonstration in front of Patiala Court demanding for repeal of AFSPA, questioning why their voices should not be heard.
They questioned, "Are the people supreme or the Court ? The demonstrators also felt that summoning Sharmila in Delhi, who is already charged in Manipur is something that is questionable.
Supporters of repeal for AFSPA, the MASAD and others went to receive Irom Sharmila as she landed in New Delhi yesterday.
Her arrival in Delhi made a tremendous boost to the campaign for repeal of AFSPA.
Irom Sharmila interacted with the students, well wishers, her supporters later in the evening today at Manipur Bir Tikendrajit House.
