In a bid to restore the lost image of Assam Public Service Commission (APSC), the Assam government will take all possible steps; this was promised by Parliamentary Affairs minister Chandra Mohan Patowary in the assembly on Thursday.
“In the last few years, the loss of image of the Commission has been a matter of grave concern, but from now, we have introduced reforms ranging from appointment of APSC members to conduct of exams,” informed Patowary.
Meanwhile, former chief minister Prafulla Kumar Mahanta, who raised the APSC issue on the floor of the house during zero hour, by asking, “Why have not the appointments of APSC chairman and other members of the Commission not yet been terminated after their arrest?”
Replying to this, Patowary informed that a committee had been formed to appoint two Members of the APSC, while the Governor had sent a proposal to the Centre following a State Cabinet decision seeking removal of the former APSC Chairman who was arrested recently for his alleged involvement in the cash-for-job scam.
However, echoing in the line of Prafulla Kumar MAhanta, another AGP MLA Pabindra Deka urged the government not to select the chairman and other members of the commission under any political considerations.
