Imphal, August 22 2014 :
Women Action for Development (WAD) secretary Sobita Mangsatabam has urged the functionaries of Indian Red Cross Society, Manipur State Branch to stop making press statements attacking her and her organization.
In a press statement, Sobita said that he did express her opinion in a public meeting on the non-functioning of the International Red Cross Society and their lack of intervention in Manipur in general and particularly in a medical negligence case.
She added that it is unfortunate to learn that the some functionaries of Indian Red Cross Society, Manipur State Branch has construed her opinion as an affront to their reputation and issued press statements attacking her and her organization.
Indian Red Cross Society, Manipur State Branch is not International Red Cross Society, they are two separate entities, Sobita said and added that her opinion on the non-functioning of the latter institution did not in any way infringe the reputation of the former institution or its functionaries.
