What mentioned by sister Irom Sharmila Chanu, in the article “Sharmila indifferent to Delhi's indifference” (TheSangaiExpress.com, dated April 13, 2011), about discrimination is a fact, that people of central Indian are borne with a bias mindset, not only the officials on matter of Arm Forces Special Power Act, 1958.

We see it, we feel it, and everyone knows it. On the other hand, in context of comparing with Anna Hazare, he express his points on stage while our sister express at the last bench of the corner where no one knows.
Another point is the context of expression, in which his point is anti-corruption which is the only priority of the nation, which every one like it, while our sister is seeking Human Rights which people hard to know easily on what cause, what human right for?
And media coverage of central India in the NE states is almost negligible just because of their biasness and fear of the present conditions of the region. Main media group which visits Manipur is I think The Hindu and its by-product FRONTLINE, we trust them because of their autonomous and liberal expressions.
Moreover , Hazare is supported from across the planet earth whoever is called Indian, supported by high profile people who can easily contact the Indian congress officials. And matter of Lok Pal Bill is an easily workable thing where there is no one to oppose this bill.
On other side, Repeal of AFSPA is highly sensitive issue between the civilians (of only two small regions: Manipur and Assam and Kashmir) and Defence wing of the nation, which is next to the UPA govt. In the hottest public debate so far on this issue of ‘repeal of AFSPA’ happened last year in The Hindu lasted for almost a week without any visible resolution.
Manipur govt. had already appointed Upendra Commission whose report was on Nov 2, 2004, but unfortunately by a petition filed by Assam Rifles Justice Biswas dismissed on June 23, 2005 under the section 6 of AFSPA, says that “without sanction of Centre, no legal proceeding can be instituted against the security forces”.
But this doesn’t affect anything to the emotion of Manipur govt. because it was done just to press the people’s pressure. Later, still when the B.P Jeevan Reddy commission, which is a hand of centre came Center shutdown their mouth.
It is because that the commission was appointed to cool down the issue, the commission they appointed is their fingers, and they can use their fingers in the way they like. It’s just like Manipur govt. use CBI to cool down any serious issue and takes no action.
Ibobi knows the politics well, and in addition Centre also know the politics well, for example, on January25, 2008, at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi (where Hazare sitted) in a demonstration demanding the repeal of AFSPA a pamphlet was read as “REPEAL ARMED FORCES SPECIAL POWER ACT 1958 (APUNBA LUP)” in which centre know that this Apunba Lup is an umbrella body of 32 organizations, not the civil society of Manipur.
GK Pillai said ‘insurgency no more in NE region’, P. Chidambarm said ‘Manipur is now cool’. Whatever may be, all these are only lip services, not written statement produced in the lower house.
Unfortunately, amid the comment of Sister Irom Sharmila, recent background voices like “plebiscite” and killing of telecom tower guards and demand of ransom from telecom workers are the examples with which I would like to conclude that if things doesn’t work out at macro level then, we should try to work it out at grass root level, i.e. ourselves, my family and my society.
In the third resolution of “Plebiscite Meeting” as published in the same site/channel, that ‘’sending of two resolutions to the UN and other international human rights organizations’’ is just a matter of ridiculousness.
India is the largest nation little bit back by US, India can ignore any external forces saying that matter is minutest of minute internal affair to be handled by India itself, or center can ignore it any cost.
Moreover, this further adds oil over AFSPA. What knows if sister Sharmila reaches to Oslo for Nobel Peace prize and move the immovable Centre or who knows Centre can say that Nobel Price and internal affairs are different things.
We will prey for the above, we can hope, most probably some amendment in the section 6(or, likes) of AFSPA which make it draconian, else repeal is a far thing. At last, I hope we can solve this problem by convincing our family members to come to more stable life, to lead our every family members to economically productive tasks, hope problem will solve automatically.
