Imphal, August 04, 2012:
Reacting against non publishing of press release, the proscribed PULF (PM Akbar) group and some miscreants using the name of an unknown organisation have threatened mediapersons over the phone today.
A joint meeting of All Manipur Working Journalists' Union (AMWJU) and Editors of local dailies has strongly condemned the threat.
In a statement, President of AMWJU A Mobi pointed out that publication of substantiated news report or the diktats of carrying press releases without being edited is against the guidelines laid down by Press Council of India (PCI) to be abide by all the newspapers in the country and threats to mediapersons over such matter undermines the freedom of press/media.
