Imphal, Oct 21 : The AMWJU today said it is unfortunate if the statement of Mary Kom regarding Manipur media is correct. Manipur media pays lots of attention to Mary Kom and other sports persons it was stated. If one looks at the newspapers published in Manipur one will know the truth it was stated.
All news published in national and international media are filed by journalists from the state and how can she say she did not get any support it was asked. Manipur is sports power house and the matter is treated sensitively it was added .
Mary Kom got attention from national media only after she got Bronze medal in Olympic and she herself made the statement. The state media had been supporting her . The news items published in the newspaper houses of Manipur are testimonies of the support given to her.
It is unfortunate that she decided to lambasts Manipur media in another state. She could have approached All Manipur Working Journalists’ Union if she had any complain it was stated. Manipur media continues to support her and bringing in issue of tribal factor in sports is unfortunate it was stated.
Manipur media never commented on communal and Mary Kom was appealed to stop tarnishing image of Manipur media according to a statement issued by N. Jonish, Gen Secy AMWJU.
