Human rights activist Irom Sharmila, who had a disastrous debut in the recent Manipur elections, will spend some time in a tribal settlement in Kerala’s Attappadi.
She arrived at the tribal hamlet on Tuesday, to be away from the post poll frenzy and made it clear she would continue her fight for human rights and democratic values on her return.
Sources close to her said that she would spend around a month in Attappadi. This is her first visit to Kerala. She said she was happy to be in Kerala, from where she had got a lot of support for her fight against AFPSA.
When asked about her poll debacle, she said:
Nothing much constructive and transparent will be seen in the political arena... Because, elections are based on money and muscle power.
