In the FIR, SPC president David Laitphlang said that one Lester JK Ryngki had posted an instigating statement (written in Khasi) against the press on a facebook group- ‘Ka Sur U Paidbah’
He said the transcript of the text incites hatred and mayhem against the press fraternity and this has been taken very seriously by one and all.
The FIR sought suitable action against the perpetrator as per the law of the land.
According to the FIR, it is time that such evil thoughts, ideas and reckless statements are put under a proper scanner by the designated authority and checked as directed by the law before they corrode the minds of the scores of innocents and that the perpetrator should be punished so that similar action is not repeated.
