"The message of Irom Chanu Sharmila, who has been fasting for 11 years demanding repeal of Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958, would be conveyed to the Prime Minister", Dr M Rahman, who is a representative of the Pune-based Sarhad, has assured.
Talking to mediapersons at Manipur Press Club here today, Dr Rahman informed that he had the privilege of meeting half an hour today and during the meeting Sharmila requested to convey her message to Prime Minister.
Dr Rahman, who is not only a former Home Secretary of Jammu & Kashmir but also the Parliamentary Secretary of India and Vice Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University, said that India government should not neglect the 11 years long struggle of Sharmila.
Assuring that he would take up the issue of Sharmila to the notice of the Prime Minister, Dr Rahman said that Sarhad would join hands with the Manipur-based Peace crusade in this endeavour.
