Imphal, April 03 2009:
The fasting lady, Irom Sharmila today said, none of the candidates in the fray to the Lok Sabha elections are not of her choice.
Talking to Hueiyen Lanpao, the Iron Lady of Manipur who has been fasting for the last more than demanding repeal of AFSPA said any of the candidates in the fray are not contesting the elections for serving the people in true sense.
Men who come out to serve the people sincerely are totally different and when the real leader comes out, people of the state will get relief from all suffering, she observed.
Unless Manipur gets such true leader, people will continue to suffer.
It is not right thing to come out to contest election as law permit him.
Election should not be taken as business.
If such things continue, one day elections will be a thing of joke.
When asked whether she hope of fulfilling her demand, she said, one day she will achieve the goal and people will relief from all suffering under the Act.
She went on to say that when she was released from the jail completing jail term, she thought of ending her jail term forever and further nasal feeding will be done and come out from the court with the hope.
But all her hope shattered in the next moment when she was once arrested again and sent to jail.
