Imphal, November 05 2014:
Showing solidarity to the 14 years of struggle of the Iron lady of Manipur, the Students League Manipur in collaboration with Meira Paibis organized a torch rally at adjoining areas of Thoubal Charangpat yesterday.
During the rally flagged off from Charangpat Mayai Leikai, the rallyists shouted slogans such as 'Remove AFSPA', 'Save Sarmila' and 'Go back Indian Army'.
One of the members of Students League Manipur stated that agitations will continue until the draconian law 'AFSPA' is removed from the state.
He lamented that even after 14 years of fast-unto-death by Irom Chanu Sharmilla demanding the AFSPA, the government has not acted positively.
Another rally participant woman expressed that all forms of stir for removal of the act will be supported.
