Imphal, August 22 2023:
The All Manipur Working Journa-lists' Union (AMWJU) and the Editors' Guild Manipur (EGM) have condemned Kangleipak Communist Party-Military Council (Progressive), KCP-MC (Pro) for threatening media fraternity including EGM's president and The Sangai Express (Manipuri Edition) Editor Khogendra Khom-dram for publishing a news item related to another proscribed outfit.
While AMWJU and the EGM held a meeting on August 16 condemning the reaction of KCP-MC (Pro), the media bodies tried to reach out to the outfit without success.
As the outfit couldn't be reached, the media bodies, in a meeting today, have decided to publish the resolution of condemnation taken at the meeting on August 16, said the AMWJU and EGM in a joint statement.
Moreover, AMWJU and the EGM have decided not to publish any matter related to KCP-MC (Pro) until and unless an agreement is reached with the proscribed outfit, said the bodies.
The media bodies further appealed to the public and all groups concerned to approach them if they have complaints about any article published by any of the media houses related to them.
AMWJU and EGM are always open to talk about any grievances, they said.
