Irom Sharmila who is the iconic activist is known by her fasting . She began fasting 16 years ago in protest with respect to atrocities in Manipur. She has decided to recast her struggle and contest elections. The 44 year old told a district court in Manipur that she will end her fasting on August 9th.


She also told the court that she wants to marry. She also told them that she wants to contest in next Manipur election as independent candidate. Irom Charnu Sharmila has been confined to a room at a government hospital and force-fed through a nasal tube for 14 years.


By 2014, she pulled off the tube after getting orders from a court which said, there was no evidence that she was trying to commit suicide by refusing food - the main criminal charge against her.


Babloo who is a close associate said, "We are trying to speak to her to get a sense of how she wants to take struggle forward. Of course if she wants to end her fast, it is totally her prerogative but it is also important to carry the struggle forward." She also denied reports about being Aam Aadmi Party candidate.
