Guwahati: The All Nyishi Students Union (ANSU) announced on November 30 that they would stage a massive referendum rally on December 3 due to dissatisfaction with the continuing probe into the APPSC cash-for-job scam and showing support for Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission (APPSC) applicants.
Addressing the media in a press conference held at Arunachal Press Club ANSU vice president Rahim Yangfo said that no action has been taken against the Chairman /Secretary /members and all the officials involved in the scam so far. This is really unfortunate.
“This is such a huge swindle, and the investigation is done completely incorrectly. The state authorities implicated have not yet been arrested, and we oppose this shoddy probe,” he said.
The rally is being organized demanding the immediate arrest of the APPSC Chairman, Secretary, members and all the officials involved in the scam. The vice president of ANSU further urged that the exam paper in the area where the paper leak was discovered be deemed invalid. He further asked that no exam dates be set by the APPSC till the probe is finished.
Rahim Yangfo also demanded that Mudang Yabyang, a person with a disability (PWD) candidate be recruited for the post of lecturer at the polytechnic, and Gyamar Padang, known as the whistleblower of the APPSC exam paper leak, be rewarded with the post of Assistant Engineer.
The Special Investigation Cell (SIC) of the state police has so far arrested 22 people in connection with the paper leak issue, including the deputy secretary of the APPSC and the deputy controller of exams Taket Jerang.
The CBI is also probing the case.
