All Nyishi Students' Union (ANSU) has threatened an agitation if the Arunachal Pradesh government failed to agree to its three-point charter of demands by January 15.The students' body has demanded resignation of state Home Minister Jarbom Gamlin and suspension of Papum Pare district Superintendent of Police Robin Hibu for their alleged failure to contain crime in the state capital. They have also demanded cancellation of the suspension order of an executive engineer of the PWD who was suspended after the day light robbery at his office on December 9 last year.  Addressing a press conference here, ANSU president Likha Tongum alleged that state PWD minister Nabam Tuki and Public Health Engineering Minister Tatar Kipa had promised at a joint meeting of the ANSU and the all the Nyishi legislators on December 17 last year that their demands would be fulfilled. ''On their assurances we suspended our proposed bandh calls for December 21 and 27  but they failed to comply with their promises,'' Mr. Tongum lamented adding that the matter was not raised during the December 29 cabinet meeting as promised.' 'We are giving the state government another chance to settle the matter within January 15 and if any untoward incident takes place after the deadline they would be held responsible,'' Mr. Tongum cautioned.  Alleging that the suspension order issued to the engineer was with an 'ulterior motive' to hide the intelligence failure of the State Government, Mr. Tongum pointed out that the order was also technically wrong as the name of the engineer was mentioned as T Wahge instead of K Wahge.
