IMPHAL, October 3: Anti-Armed Forces Special Powers Act crusader Irom Chanu Sharmila today condemned violence in crowded places and said usurping the feeling of freedom from the general populace is highly condemnable.
Speaking to media persons as she was being taken out of court of the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Imphal East, after a hearing today, she said revolutionaries had come out to bring a change or a revolution in the society for the welfare of the people.
However, if one wants to bring changes or raise a revolution, one need to first cleanse their character, thoughts and themselves, she observed.
Sharmila said exploding bombs in the middle of the city as if a volcano erupted all of a sudden is unfortunate and questionable.
She said she is fighting for the whole people against use of violence in governance and violation of the people`™s rights.
