Imphal, February 08 2023:
Following a heated argument during a panel discussion programme of a TV channel, an unruly scene broke out in front of the electronic media's office this evening as a volunteer of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) and a youth leader of Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) confronted each other.
The panel discussion programme titled '60 MLAs as warriors of War on Drugs' was participated by M Suresh Kumar, Imphal Times Editor Ringku Khumukcham and MPCC youth leader Ningthoujam Popilal as panellists.
The panel discussion programme was hosted by Raj Nongthombam.
After the panel discussion programme ended on a tense note, the panellists left the media house and were heading towards their vehicles when the BJYM volunteer and the MPCC youth leader confronted each other.
Police personnel who were on duty in the surrounding area intervened before a high ranking police officer came and pacified the situation.
All Manipur Working Journalists Union president W Shamjai too arrived at the spot.
The matter was resolved
amicably later.
