In solidarity to Irom Sharmila: Snippets of Solidarity Meeting at Patna
Protest against AFSPA in Patna
In response to a ‘Call For Action’ convened by Manipur Freedom Campaign on November 2, 2006, coinciding with six years of hunger strike by Irom Sharmila Chanu in protest against the repressive Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act 1958, a solidarity meeting was organized at Patna by ‘Praxis’ and the Bihar state unit of ‘Ekta Parishad’. Participants of the meet included supporters of Manipur Freedom Campaign drawn from several districts of Bihar, who observed a one-minute silence in solidarity with Sharmila’s indefinite hunger strike and expressed their strong protest against the excesses committed by armed forces in Manipur. Several of the activists who attended the event likened the campaign with the youth-upsurge spearheaded by Jayaprakash Narayan against the state-proclaimed emergency in 1975 and lamented that even on the 100th year of Satyagrah, peace activists like Sharmila Chanu have had to remain on a hunger strike for six long years. Shri Pradeep Priyadarshi – Convenor of Bihar State Unit of Ekta Parishad wished the Campaign all success and aired a slogan exhorting the young people of the country to remedy the ills facing the country today. Shri Jay Kumar Verma of Praxis initiated the meeting by appealing for large-scale solidarity action in favour of Manipur Freedom Campaign. Some of the protesting activists hailing from far-flung areas of Bihar also wrote messages of solidarity addressed to Sharmila, which would be forwarded by Praxis to the Campaign secretariat.
