Irom Sharmila reaches Kerala on 45th birthday Last Updated : 14 Mar 2017 02:32:45 PM IST (File Photo)
Manipur's human rights activist Irom Sharmila on Tuesday reached Kerala here from Coimbatore on her 45th birthday.
She will spend a month in Attapadi, a tribal hamlet, near to Palakkad. This is her first ever visit to Kerala.
"I am here in Kerala, just for a break. I am very pleased with your warm greetings," Sharmila said.
She is here after being defeated on her maiden foray in electoral politics in Manipur where she received only 90 votes from the prestigious Thoubal assembly constituency against Chief Minister and Congress nominee Okram Ibobi Singh.
"The BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) used money and muscle power and they did that openly during the elections," she alleged.
Considered as Manipur's "Iron Lady", Sharmila had continued her fast-unto-death for 16 years, being force-fed and put on liquid diet in hospitals, to press her demand for repeal of the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act in the state.
She ended her indefinite hunger strike in August last year and launched People's Resurgence and Justice Alliance in October.IANS For Latest Updates Please-
