Manipur police have registered an FIR against a fact-finding team of the Editors Guild of India (EGI) and the organisation’s president over a report on the conflict in the northeastern state.
Chief minister and BJP leader Biren Singh, under fire for the way he has handled the crisis, held a media conference to issue an unvarnished warning.
“I also am giving a warning to the Editors Guild members: if you want to do something, please come to the spot, please do visit there, see the ground reality, meet the representatives of all communities, all victims and then you publish what you have found. Otherwise, meeting some people, sections of the people and coming to a conclusion, is disservice -- that is highly condemnable. That is why the state government has filed an FIR against the members of the Editors Guild who are trying to create more clashes in the state of Manipur...,” Biren Singh said in Imphal.
The Guild’s 24-page findings were released on Saturday evening. The fact-finding team was sent to Manipur to examine the media reportage in the state from August 7 to 10.
