Imphal, April 30:
Taking strong exception against the 'discriminatory' policies adopted by the State Govt and noting the invites extended only to some select newspapers to cover the CM's programme of extending NREGS to Chandel and Churachandpur districts today, the Editors' Forum, Manipur held a meeting today and adopted a number of resolutions.
Coming down hard on the 'choose and pick policy' of the CM, the Forum condemned such discriminatory attitude and decided to blank out the news coverage of the said events and to appeal to the concerned to drop the pick and choose policy when it concerns State official programme involving the CM and continue to boycott all programmes convened by the CM until a written assurance is given by the CM's office not to repeat such acts in future.
The All Manipur Working Journalists' Union has also endorsed the stand of the EFM.
