PASIGHAT, Mar 1:  In a bid to protest against the proposed null & void declaration of APPSC exams from 2014 to till date as accepted by the state government after the recent demands made from the Pan Arunachal Joint Steering Committee (PAJSC), the parents against null & void, a group of parents whose candidates are going to get affected, convened a general meeting at Giidii Notko (festival ground), Pasighat here today and decided to move the state government to roll back the acceptance of declaring the exams null & void.
After a detail discussion on the null & void demands of PAJSC, the parents against null & void committee headed by Advocate Toning Pertin suggested the state government for constituting a particular screening committee to identify genuine and tainted candidates or by the help of CBI or SIC the tainted candidates can be removed without affecting the genuine candidates. “Declaring the entire examinations of APPSC null & void is not the solution; it’s going to create far reaching repercussions. So we are opposing the demand for null & void by PAJSC, and accordingly termed it against the rights of natural justice, illogical, and immature for those who are now serving for the state government in different departments and posts”, said Pertin.     
From the mothers side, Germany Lego Pertin  and Mumtak Saroh also rued the same and demanded natural justice for the genuine and non tainted candidates whose entire lives will be jeipardised if the state government moves ahead with the same.
“We as parents have been supporting the genuine demands of all the aggrieved candidates for punishment of all those who are involved in the APPSC paper leakage case. But after bringing the issue of declaring the entire examination of APPSC as null & void by PAJSC, we parents are now divided and we are completely against the null & void demand. Such demand will throw out and render several unemployed which will not only affect genuine candidates, but also it will affect the future generation of those affected candidates," added Germany Pertin. 
“Such situation of unemployment and depression as a result may also lead to rise of crime in society; in such cases who will take the responsibility?" questioned Mumtak Saroh.
One Talom Tabing, Convener of Parents Against Null & Void also raised several serious concerns on the far reaching effects upon the genuine candidates who made through the exams on their merit. 
If hundreds of young officers and officials serving the state government are thrown out, the entire family of the person will get affected economically and such situation and depression may even lead to suicide. So, as an intellectual group, we hope the state government will do justice to the genuine candidates also and we expect the same support and cooperation from the team PAJSC, added Tabing.
