Imphal, February 07 2023:
All Manipur Muslim Organisations' Co-ordinating Committee (AMMOCOC) has denounced the selection of non- Meitei-Pangals in the reserved category in the recently declared result of Arts Graduate teachers on contract basis by the Education Department.
In a press release, AMMOCOC secretary general informed that two candidates who are not Meitei-Pangals have been selected in the reserved category of OBC (MP) thereby depriving the deserving candidates of their rightful selection causing concern and worry among them.
The Muslim body also raised questions on the functioning of the relevant Government Departments and how such errors have happened.
Citing the examples where similar incidents have happened earlier where non Meitei Pangals were selected in the admission list of Dhanamanjuri University and State Government list of MBBS list against the reserved category, AMMOCOC maintained that such repetitive errors will become a cause for worry and anxiety among the genuine deserving candidates.
In view of the above concerns, AMMOCOC demanded that the Education Department should clarify on the matter within 48 hours and removed the two students from the selection list against OBC (MP) category.
The body also highlighted the need to review the process of issuing such caste certificates in the respective Government Departments and to take up appropriate actions against the irresponsible employees to ensure that such errors do not recur.
In this regard AMMOCOC has submitted a memorandum to the Chief Minister to look into the matter and to take up immediate necessary actions to rectify the error so as not to deprive the deserving candidates of their rightful selection and in the interest of the Meitei-Pangal community.
