Mail News Service
Imphal, June 28 : All India Christian Council condemned the recommendation by Indigenous People Forum to introduce the Manipur Freedom of Religion, the anti conversion law. Various national and international human rights forums have termed that Anti Conversion Bills are draconian laws that violate fundamental and constitutional rights of fellow citizens.
The anti conversion law was recommended during one day workshop on Lure and Proselytization and Constitutional Interpretation of Freedom of Religion organised by Indigenous People’s Forum at Imphal on June 24.
All India Christian Council will oppose any forces attempting to turn Manipur into any other state where Hindutva forces operate.
The Anti Conversion Laws in Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh have been misused by Hindutva forces to harassed minorities. The innocent members of minority religions have been harassed under the draconian laws. The religious fanatic groups in the state of Manipur are targeting to harass the innocent members of minorities it was alleged.
All India Christian Council believes that hidden tactic of Hindutva forces could be behind the ideology of Indigenous People’s Forum attempting to bring the anti conversion law. The Christian Council cautions the people of Manipur to be alert the tactic of Hindutva forces that attempt to destroy the peace and harmony of the community. The Hindutva forces have poisoned the social fabrics of community peace and harmony within the states of Gujarat and Orissa.
The freedom of religion is the fundamental and constitutional rights of every Indian citizen, which is also guaranteed by Universal Declaration of United Nation on fundamental rights. Everybody has rights to choose and reject the religion he or she likes. The Christian Council condemns any individual or groups involved in lure, force, and fraudulent conversion.

Opening up media

There are only few countries where the government directly controls the media. In some countries the government tries to control the media using various ways. In India it was a different story during the Emergency days when officials came to read the next day’s newspapers. Unfortunately press law is not defined well and there is no mention of press freedom in the Constitution unlike most other countries. Forcing media persons to reveal sources, enquiring about the news to be published as done in an autocratic state are also beginning to appear its ugly head in our country specially in Manipur. As our neighbour Myanmar opens up we wonder if we will be closing the door in our region. Myanmar has vowed to make reform of state media after opening up to private media to a certain level since democratic reform began to take place last year.Private media is now considered to have the right to publish freely far and wide, an information official claimed.”Previously, the state media under the control of the ministry of information mainly inform the policies and stances, implementation and limited information of the government to the public. It barely published public based news and information, wishes, feedback and argument of people,” Minister of Information and Culture U Kyaw Hsan told the paper-reading session.Citing President U Thein Sein, U Kyaw Hsan urged giving serious attention to the print media, claimed as the 4th estate, as well as constructive criticism of the press, stressing the need to transform state media into the values of public service media to meet three objectives, namely to inform policies and stances and implementation of the government; to publish opinions, wish, aspiration and feedback of the people in response to the action of the government; and to make constructive criticism in this regard.He urged correct practice of the very essence of democracy, keeping people informed and educated.He insisted that every citizen shall be at liberty in expressing and publishing freely their conviction and opinions if not contrary to the laws, enacted for union security, prevalence of law and order, community peace and tranquillity or public order and morality.He urged journalists, who already have the freedom of expression, to observe journalistic code of ethics and existing laws and rules to the letter in practicing expression of freedom.Meanwhile, Myanmar’s private print media law has been drafted and submitted to the government for
discussions in the upcoming parliament session . The drafted law is said not inferior to international standard and those of ASEAN legislation and not to curtail freedom of literary world and journalists and press freedom but to shape dignified and genuine 4th estate. India aspiring to be a great democratic country should also ensure freedom of the press. Gagging the press does not mean end of the problem. Only an autocrat will not like his or her real image published in the media. It is only a mirror where we see our own self, if you are bad you are seen bad and if good you will be seen good. Change yourself rather than gagging the media.
