Campaign to save Sharmila commenced; appealed to state government for timely intervention

In due consideration of the deteriorating health condition of Irom Sharmila Chanu, , Communist Party of India- Khurai Local Council today urged the Ibobi led state government to completely repeal AFSPA from the state.
Predicting the undesirable future consequences if something is to happen to Sharmila in between, RK Amusana, State Executive Member MSC-CPI during a press conference held at Irabot Bhavan appealed to both the Chief Minister and Home Minister to visit her and inspect the ever deteriorating health condition of Sharmila.
He also appealed to the Manipur Government to save Sharmila’s life by fulfilling the one-and half decade long demand and prove that law and order situation in the state has improved.
He further alleged BJP led central government for not keeping their words regarding the repeal of AFSPA from the state which they gave before coming to power at the centre.
Before holding the government, many officials of BJP from the centre visited Sharmila and committed to bring out the issue in the Parliament too, but on the contrary, no one so far from the Centre visits her since they came to power.
Regarding this matter and other developmental issues of Khurai area the Council submitted an 8 point charter of demands to Chief Minister O Ibobi today before holding the press conference.
The submission of the memorandum marked the beginning of a mass campaign to save Sharmila when there is still time.
