Kolkata: Even after her release from detention, rights activist Irom Sharmila has decided to keep her vow of neither entering her house nor meeting her mother till the government repeals Afspa.
Ms Sharmila, 42, is now continuing her 14-year-old fast from a small makeshift shelter outside the government-run Jawahar Lal Nehru Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital in Imphal where she was forced fed through nose under police detention.
Her house where her mother and brother stay is only a few metres away from the hospital.
“But Sharmila has decided not to go to the house nor meet her mother till her demands of repealing the ‘draconian’ Armed Forces Special Powers Act is met by the government,” Ms Sharmila’s brother Irom Singhajit said.
Ms Sharmila has, however, been meeting her elder brother ever since she walked out.
