The All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) has appreciated the initiatives of Press Council of India (PCI) and Indian Journalists' Union (IJU) in taking forward the cause of journalists of the State to different fora.

The present threat to media persons has also reached international forum as the matter has been brought to the notice of International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) through the IJU.
