Imphal, January 15 2016 :
Attacking
media persons who work day
and night to disseminate infor-
mation to the people is a direct
challenge to the society, said
Thangmeiband AC MLA Kh
Joykishan.
The MLA today visited All
Manipur Working Journal-
ists' Union (AMWJU) pu-
blicity secretary and
The
Sangai Express
Staff Re-
porter Athokpam Jiten at
JNIMS hospital and handed
over monetary aid.
Jiten is undergoing treat-
ment at the special ward of
the hospital after he suffered
serious injury in a brutal as-
sault by a youth at Keisham-
thong on January 11 night at
Keishamthong.
Saying that the incident
has hurt him a lot, Joykishan
said that attacking media per-
sons who render service to
the society is a direct chal-
lenge to the society itself.
As such, the youth who
attacked the media persons must be charged under relevant Acts so that he
may not get bail, he said.
The MLA said that media plays significant roles in exposing
the ills of the Government and maintaining communal
harmony in the State.
Joykishan wished the injured scribe for a speedy recovery
and early return to his duty.
