AASU protest over HSLC result anomalies
Golaghat district unit of All Assam Students’ Union (AASU) on Friday burnt the effigies of Secondary Education Board of Assam (SEBA), Education Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi. The student body was protesting against the large scale anomalies in declaration of HSLC Examination results. Monowar Hussain, state executive member of AASU told Assamtimes that the state Education Minister Himanta Biswa Saram only makes hiking but fails to translate his words into action and inspite of prior warning to the concerned departments and authorities to be careful in declaring the results, neither the Chief Minister nor SEBA pay any heed but carried on with their egoistic attitude and as a consequence countless students of the state had to go through mental depress. The education minister should take the responsibility and tender his resignation, he added.
