A choked Irom Sharmila, said "I will never forget this moment".

She also said that she is being the real embodiment of revolution, and she want to be the CM of Manipur to help people. "I know nothing about politics, and about academic line also. My education is very very low but I want to convince our people that my power will shower upon people, and without sense of defensive and possessive nature, she said."

Sharmila said that she wants to become Chief Minister of Manipur so that the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA) can be removed from the state. "Will use everything I have for a positive society, foremost thing will be removal of this draconian law."

On receiving death threats, she said, "Let them kill me the way people killed Mahatma Gandhi with accusation of anti-Hindu."

It was officially announced that Sharmila will stay in hospital for the next three days under medical supervision. During the time, she will be administered solid food gradually and her health closely monitored.
