 A CORRESPONDENT

ITANAGAR: Pan Arunachal Joint Steering Committee APPSC (PAJSC) chairman Techi Puru has said that the committee will be meeting the Home Minister Bamang Felix on Tuesday to discuss the status of action taken by the Government in the APPSC (Arunachal Pradesh Public Service Commission) cash-for-job scam.

Addressing the media at the press club here on Monday, Techi Puru said that the committee will stick to the 13-point charter of demands submitted by the All Nyishi Students' Union (ANSU) in connection with the APPSC cash-for-job scam.

He said that if the meeting with the Home Minister doesn't end with a logical conclusion, the committee will talk with the team ANSU regarding the course of action to be taken. Moreover, he said, the aspirants are done with the delaying tactics of the State Government. The meeting should bring a logical conclusion to the entire APPSC fiasco, Puru added.

Speaking on the demand for declaring the entire exams as null and void, he said that the committee is not demanding for declaration of the entire 2014-2017 examinations as null and void, but rather demanding this for the examinations where malpractices had occurred.

"There are many selected candidates who are ready to sit for the fresh examination if the examinations get declared null and void. Therefore, the committee appeals to the rest of the candidates in particular and the general public as a whole not to get confused on the same", he added.

Puru also said that the committee will follow up on the investigation process now carried up by the CBI.

Expressing dissatisfaction over the three-member departmental inquiry report, the committee claimed that the departmental inquiry report only affirmed the compromise of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) by the commission without disclosing when and by whom it was compromised.

Highlighting their demand point-wise, Puru said that it was a structural failure of the State Government to allow such a heinous crime against thousands of genuine candidates. And, now the ball is in the hands of the Government, and therefore the State Government must act accordingly without protecting any officers involved in the paper leak case.
