Imphal, April 17 2019:
Film Forum Manipur on Wednesday clarified that it doesn't endorse any political party.
Some artists may endorse and support a particular candidate, but it is their own will and right.
However, Film Forum Manipur doesn't support or endorse a particular candidate or a political party, said its chairman Samjetsabam Mangoljao during a press meet held at FFM's office in Lamphel, Imphal.
The reaction of the Film Forum Manipur came after the report of renowned singer and actor Bonium Thokchom campaigning for BJP candidate RK Ranjan yesterday at Khwairamband Keithel.

Any actor/artist conducting election campaign doesn't represent the stand of whole of the artists fraternity- Film Forum Manipur.
It is in their own interest and capacity that they are conducting election campaign.
Film Forum Manipur doesn't encourage such campaign or endorse any party/candidate, he said.
The alleged statement of Bonium that film artists endorse BJP candidate was unfortunate, he said and added that statement has undermined the right and voice of other artists and members of Film Forum Manipur.
The forum takes the matter seriously and will take up measures and action against the actor accordingly for 'misleading public', said the chairman.
