NEW DELHI: National Alliance of People’s Movement (NAPM) along with several other civil society activist groups is organising a “Save Sharmila Solidarity Campaign” to put forward the cause of Manipur social activist Irom Sharmila at the centre-stage of politics.
Irom Sharmila has been fasting for past 11 years in Manipur demanding revocation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).
The campaign has already organised activities in various cities of India such as candle light vigils, public meetings, documentary screening and recently the Srinagar-Imphal “Save Sharmila Jan Karwan” which has created a big buzz in the eyes of the public.
Earlier, the campaign had launched a nationwide signature drive in many states on October 2. (UNI)
