National Federation of Newspapers Employees has extended moral support to the agitating journalists of Manipur, who have been demanding an unconditional release of an editor of a local daily. The media persons of the State under the banner of All Manipur Working Journalists Union pushed the authority for the release of Ahongsangbam Mobi Singh, editor of Sanaleibak, who was arrested by the police on December 27 for an alleged link with the militants.
Claiming that the charges against the editor are baseless, the Manipur journalists have taken the path of agitation on December 29 and since then no newspapers have been published. Even a local cable television network Information Service Television also stooped airing news since then.
Mobi Singh, who is the vice-president of AMWJU, was produced before an Imphal court same day and he was remanded to police custody till January 5.
NFNE secretary Nava Thakuria has also urged the O. Ibobi Singh government at Imphal to take appropriate actions such that the journalists of the State can function with their wisdom and no way with any fear and dismay.

This arrest is a form of CORRUPTION by the Indian state forces like army, police, CRPF.
How do we fight this manifestation of Corruption?
Corruption is a culture in India.
The Indian Union is formed on the basis of corruption. Just as pornography, prostitution is growing in higher proportions in the modern day society, corruption will also grow. It is here to stay. It is here to grow.
If Corruption is done away with, India will collapse. Coalition governments are formed with corruption. Every party demands its representation in the Union cabinet to slice off their share of money.
And the poor chaps placed at the borders (as if God made borders) think they are serving someone called 'Bharat mata'!
