Imphal, August 19 2022:
The Editors' Guild Manipur (EGM), the Manipur Hill Journalists Union (MHJU) and the All Manipur Working Journalists Union (AMWJU) have jointly decided to boycott the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) along with the Congress MLAs from 4 pm of August 22 .
The decision to boycott MPCC and its MLAs was taken at a meeting of the three organisations following MPCC's failure to clear election related advertisement bills, said a press release jointly, signed by presidents of EGM, MHJU and AMWJU.
The decision was taken following MPCC's failure to meet its commitment to clear the bills on several occasions.
The media fraternity refrained from boycotting MPCC following the assurance given by its president to AMWJU president but MPCC has failed to clear the bills, added the statement.
