INDIA ''IRON LADY'' BROKE HER 16 YEARS FAST TODAY,BUT VOWED TO RUN FOR A POLITICAL POST.{PHOTOS}.

Speaking at a courtroom in Imphal,Manipur's capital,where she was appearing to face charges of attempting suicide,Ms Sharmila said ''I have been fasting for 16 years and not got anything from it.I want to try different agitation now-one that will see me contest against the chief minister of the state''.Ms Sharmila was granted bail on Tuesday after promising to end her fast.She later ate voluntarily for the first time in over 800 weeks,telling reporters ''I want to join politics because I've been called the Iron Lady of Manipur and i want to live up to that name''.More photos below.
