Imphal, August 06, 2012:
In connection with the threat given to the President of All Manipur Working Journalists' Union and some Editors by self styled publicity in-charge of a faction of MDF (Military Defence Force), L Shyamson Sharma, a joint meeting of All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) and Editors was convened today.
The meeting condemned the allegations levelled against the Editors and AMWJU President and termed the charges as baseless.
After MDF defected itself from KYKL, three different groups of the same name have been pressurising the media to publish their press statements.
One of these groups had even threatened to attack the media persons and hawkers.
The group had also warned that it would circulate pamphlets.
A press release issued by AMWJU president A Mobi urged the concerned outfit not threaten and harass media persons who are disseminating information which are of immense value to the people and the land.
