Imphal, February 08, 2011:
Keithellakpam Manikanta Meetei, a sub-editor of Hueiyen Lanpao (English edition) was attempted to be abducted by three unidentified persons near his home at Meitram Awang Leikai.
The All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) has called an emergency meeting of all scribes tomorrow at the Manipur Press Club.
The three miscreants who were lying low to abduct Manikanta around 12.45 am came on a grey colour Maruti van.
The three persons rushed towards Manikanta who ran towards back of his house as two persons followed him with a torch light and encountered Manikanta's father.
Manikanta's wife enquired who were they and two went back saying "yare yare".
In this regard AMWJU wants to know who wants to know anything from Manikanta.
AMWJU wants clarifications from those involved in the incident if Manikanta has done anything objectionable.
AMWJU also says it opens doors to discuss the matter with any party.
Otherwise, AMWJU will treat as a threat to the media and an act of terrorists.
