Imphal, November 01 2014 :
While extending warm greetings to the Kuki community on the occasion of Kut festival, the Editors' Guild, Manipur has clarified its position with regard to the State Level Kut Festival.
According to a statement issued by the guild, the State Level Kut Celebration Committee adopted a discriminatory approach while inviting media houses to the festival.
Even though the celebration committee claimed to have reserved 45 seats for media persons, some media houses were not invited at all.
Moreover, the celebration committee floated a false propaganda that the committee and the guild had reached an understanding even though there was no formal understanding between the two.
The Editors' Guild would give proper coverage to all Kut celebrations held across the State with the exception of the State Level Kut Festival.
The Editors' Guild is boycotting only the State Level Kut Celebration Committee and not the Kut festival itself.
