BIRSINGKI, Dec 10: The Amri Chinthong Press Club has vehemently condemned BJP worker Jorsing Kramsa for making objectional statements against the media on December 8 during the Unity Victory Prosperity Rally held at Amri constituency.
According to the ACPC, Kramsa has expressed unhappiness over the media for highlighting the shutdown of Birsing Weekly Market during the ‘Unity Victory Prosperity Rally’ meeting. The scribe’s body reminded that it was the duty of the media to cover all events and his statements displayed a lack of sound judgments and was far from the truth.
The press club stated common people including reporters had travelled from distant places despite inclement weather to attend the event and cover news, and therefore his statements were highly objectionable.
The ACPC stated that Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council CEM Dr. Tuliram Ronghang does not make such a distinction against media fraternity and have respect towards their profession and thus understands their problems. Therefore, Kramsa’s act was a contrast to the party leaders who are working for their welfare and development. He needs to learn from KAAC CEM and Amri MAC and EM D. Uphing Maslai, added ACPC.
The ACPC while condemning Kramsa stated that Kramsa has made similar statements in the past and the recent remarks was not an isolated incident. The press club demanded Kramsa’s unconditional apology to ACPC and the entire media fraternity of twin hill districts of Karbi Anglong stating that his remarks were completely unacceptable.
