Solution

The correct option is A Meira Paibi
  • AFSPA refers to Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958.
  • The Act was enacted in 1958 to bring under control what the government considered ‘disturbed areas’.
  • Due to the gross violation of human rights done under the name of AFSPA in Manipur, the women's social movement group Meira Paibi demanded the revocation of AFSPA in Manipur.
