ITANAGAR, Jan 10: All Nyishi Youth Association (ANYA) has announced 36-hours Itanagar Capital Region (ICR) bandh call from January 13 next following the expiry of its ultimatum seeking clarification from Chief Minister Pema Khandu on allegation of corruption leveled by the association.
On 10 December 2021, ANYA had alleged a series of charges of corruption against CM Khandu and accordingly submitted a representation to the state government serving 15-days ultimatum and another 7-days ultimatum on 30th December last demanding resignation of the CM.
Speaking to reporters at the press club here on Monday, President ANYA, Byabang Joram said that despite repeated ultimatums to clarify on the allegations against Chief Minister Pema Khandu, he (Khandu) has failed to respond to our demands. ANYA is left with no choice but to launch a democratic movement by calling a 36-hours ICR bandh, he added.
“ANYA is willing to call-off the proposed bandh call if the state government addresses its demands before the day of the bandh call," said Joram while replying to a question regarding deferring the bandh call in any case. "If any unfortunate violence occurs during the bandh call the government shall be responsible for it," he added.
School students appearing for examinations during the bandh call shall be exempted, the association said.
