Guwahati, Feb 28 : The AASU today sought an inquiry into alleged irregularities in the re-examinations of the higher secondary final conducted by the Assam Higher Secondary Education Council in 2008.
AASU adviser Samujjal Bhattacharyya said they had written to education minister Gautam Bora, demanding an impartial probe.
“From various sources we have received evidence of irregularities in the re-evaluation by a section of council officials, which is a matter of very serious concern for us, as it affects the interests of the student community,” he said.
Bhattacharyya said they were ready to share the evidence with the investigators if the state government orders a probe. He said they had taken up the matter with the council’s chairman, Mohsin Ali. “We were forced to seek the intervention of the education minister since the council chairman failed to respond to our demands,” he added.
AASU president Sankar Prasad Ray said they had reasons to doubt that money mi-ght have changed hands dur-ing re-exam. He demanded disciplinary action against the council’s controller of examinations, Pradip Kalita.
The AASU leaders said they had evidence to substantiate their allegations but refused to give details. “Our demand is very simple. Since there were allegations of serious irregularities during re-examination, let there be an independent inquiry to find out the truth,” AASU general secretary Tapan Gogoi said.
He said the council deviated from its pattern of showing original and revised marks and revised results in the result sheet of the re-examination.
