NNN/Imphal, Jan 02: No more film shootings.
No more all sorts of entertainment including concerts and no more showing Manipuri movies in cinema halls in the valley districts of Manipur unless NSCN-IM cadre Livingstone is booked and given befitting punishment by the government.
Livingstone is allegedly involved in molesting Manipuri film actress Momoko at Chandel during a concert on December 18 .
The NSCN-IM had refuted to this allegation earlier.
On Wednesday, the Film Forum Manipur (FFM) and many other organisations held a day long sit-in protest at Iboyaima Shumang Leela Shanglen in Imphal and passed many resolutions.
One of the resolutions is to reach out to all the MLAs and MPs of Manipur and get their pledges that sexual abuse should be made to end in Manipur.
One resolution was to spread the ongoing agitation to the hill districts in co-operation with the area people concerned.
The FFM, Manipur State Shumang Leela Council and All Manipur Matam Eshei Kanglup along with civil society organisations have pledged to continue their agitation until the NSCN-IM cadre is given a befitting punishment.
