ITANAGAR, Nov 1: All Nyishi Students Union (ANSU) on Monday served a 15 day ultimatum to the state government demanding immediate transfer of Education Commissioner and to drop a criminal case registered against the union.
Addressing the media at the press club  today, General Secretary Gora Rikam said that the 14-point demand relating to the education sector in Nyishi inhabited districtd has been a very long demand of the union.
He said the union has been pressing for the same for many months, yet there is no relative outcome from the concerned education department yet.
“Despite assurance by the education minister and direction issued to the education department to come out with a solution, the Education Commissioner has been repeatedly ignoring the matter,” he said.
The union also alleged that the Education Commissioner Niharika Rai is incompetent and deserves to be transferred from the state. She also holds various designations in the education department, which eventually is a matter of concern.
Rikam also questioned the state government's approach to bless a single officer with a range of other posts in the Education department.
“We have many local officers who are capable of holding other posts like the Secretary, Commissioner and other subordinates in the Education Department.
Why not encourage them, instead of gracing a single officer with numerous posts,” he said.
While highlighting the second demand, Rikam informed that a team of central executive members from the union earlier in September last month had a meeting scheduled with the Chief Minister regarding the same 14 point demands.
However, while entering into the state civil secretariat the members got into a disagreement and squabble with police on duty.
“The matter was amicably resolved after the meeting with CM but unfortunately, a couple of days later the union received a call informing about an FIR registered against the union by Deputy Superintendent of Police (Security- Civil Secretariat),” Rikam said.
He said the FIR registered against the union is malicious, concocted and fabricated without any iota of truth. The FIR itself was an attempted action to frame the executive members by inviting them to the office of CM.
Meanwhile, ANSU Vice President Rahim Yangfo said that the union will not compromise with the state government's inaction towards their demands.  He said the demands of the union should be made reality within the deadline or face a series of democratic movements.
