Hmar Inpui Ex-President Denies NOC for Link Language

All_India_Radio New Delhi, Apr 12 : The Ex-President of Hmar Inpui (Hmar Supreme House) Mr. HK Joute has denied that he or the Hmar Inpui had written to the Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting with regard to the non-objection of use of Paite as official link language in the proposed Local Radio Station of All India Radio, Churachandpur.

In a letter to Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting dated April 9, 2010, HK Joute said that he had never written any letter to her on the issue.

It may be mentioned the on November 22, 2006, some people purportedly submitted a letter supposedly written by Mr. Joute to the Union Minister giving a clean chit to Paite language to be the official link language of the much delayed Churachandpur AIR station.

Claiming that the letter was the handiwork of some individuals and people with vested interests, Mr. Joute said, "That (letter) is a total lie and fabricated and the same was never written by me."

Mr. Joute also said that the Hmar Inpui has a tradition of putting agenda before its Executive Committee and resolutions passed in writing. "The said letter does not have any reference of our Executive Meeting - its date and resolution numbers, etc", Mr. Joute said.

Terming the letter "a testimony of its duplicity and (works of) forgery", Mr. Joute informed that the Hmar Inpui never count the Hmar Youth Association (HYA) and the Hmar Students’ Association (HSA) as ‘sister organizations’ but as ‘constituent members’ and are independent in their own.
He also said that he will take legal proceedings against the perpetrators of the "forged letter" and is currently consulting his legal advisor.
Mr. Joute also requested the Union Minister of Information & Broadcasting to treat the said letter as null and void and to take no decision on the same.

The copies of Mr. Joute’s letter has been forwarded to Chief Minister of Manipur, Chief Executive Officer of Prashar Bharati, Director General of All India Radio, Deputy Director General (NER II) and Station Director (AIR, Imphal).
