AAPSU rejects CM's inquiry committees A Staff Reporter Itanagar, May 12
The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) today said that it rejects the proposal of the state government for two inquiry committees into the Tawang incident –one headed by a commissioner and the other headed by the local ADC. “We cannot expect an independent report by these committees since they are directly controlled by the state government and we cannot rule out the possibility of political involvement in the
incident” stated AAPSU general secretary BiruNasi in a press statement. Saying that the union appreciates the chief minister’s statement when he says that "no amount of relief can compensate the loss but we must ensure that such tragedies do not occur in future", the AAPSU opined that in order to avert such incidents in future the culprits need to be punished, which would also ensure justice to the victims. Claiming that past instances have revealed on numerous occasions that enquiry
committees set up by the state government do not yield satisfactory outcome, the AAPSU reiterated its demand for CBI enquiry to ensure independent inquiry so that wrongdoers are punished. A team of AAPSU delegation is also going to submit a representation to the National Human Rights Commission and Amnesty International as it opines that “the state government is not at all interested in going for an independent enquiry and are rather want an enquiry which can be dictated by them”.
