Dear Comrade Bijoy Kakchingtabam,

On behalf of the Indian Journalists Union, we express our heartiest congratulations to the Manipur Press Club on its 45th Foundation Day. At the same time, we also wish the Club and

the All Manipur Working Journalists Union (AMWJU) every success in its commitment to protect the freedom of the press, right to freedom of speech and expression and journalists’ rights and welfare.

The Indian Journalists Union values your unflinching support and determination to carry forward its mandate to ensure that the Fourth estate continues to enrich the country’s vibrant

democracy, by upholding the best practices in journalism and safeguarding against growing

threats. Importantly, the IJU reiterates its obligation and support to both AMWJU and the Manipur Press Club to unitedly fight the challenges faced by the media fraternity today and at all times.

Here’s wishing you, and all members, a Happy & Successful New Year.

In solidarity,

Geetartha Pathak & Sabina Inderjit
