Solution
The correct option is A Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958
The Armed Forces Special Powers Act, 1958 (AFSPA) was extended to Manipur in the 1980s, which led to protests by Human Rights Activists. The Meira Paibi movement that was launched by the women in Manipur in the 1970s, originally against alcoholism, drug addiction, and gender violence, now evolved to fight against the violation of human rights. It demanded to revoke the AFSPA from the state.
