Irom Sharmila to get married after Manipur polls
Human rights activist Irom Sharmila has declared that she will marry her partner, Desmond Coutinho, after the Assembly elections in Manipur are over. Sharmila in August 2016 ended her 16-year-long fast, which she had undertaken to protest over the misuse of Armed Forces Special Power Act (AFSPA). She is contesting the elections as an independent candidate.
