Tears of Joy

IRON LADY
Irom Chanu Sharmila, after her release from judicial custody yesterday, pays a visit to IMA MARKET where a huge crowd thronged to welcome her.

It may be recalled that she's undergoing fast since the last thirteen years demanding repeal of AFSPA (Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958) from the State of Manipur, and has been on forced nose feeding since then. On many occasions, she has been released and then arrested again after one or two days as she always resumes her fast until her demands are met.
