Imphal, August 06, 2012:
Condemning the threat issued by a faction of the self claimed MDF, a joint meeting of All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) and Editors today has appealed against threatening mediapersons who are performing their duties despite numerous hardships.
While clarifying the charges alleged by the armed faction, an AMWJU press release stated that three parties who claimed themselves to be factions of MDF have been pressuring media to publish their press release, which is against the guidelines of PCI.
Out of the three factions, one has threatened to attack pressmen and hawkers.
It further stated that press is not meant to create unrest in the society, but to inform and educate the public.
