ITANAGAR: The state capital had witnessed one of the largest protest rallies ever to have happened after a span of few years since the post-PRC issue. The masses included students from various institutions within the Itanagar Capital Region, hundreds stormed the streets from Akashdeep to Tennis Court bellowing “Nai chalega Nai chalega” over the much-debated and discussed topic viz "the offspring issue"

Why in the News?

The rally was not an unprecedented event, it had its way back from the gradual agitation that aroused from the failure of the social justice & empowerment and tribal affairs (SJETA) department to come up with a draft on the ST status of children born to APST mothers and non-APST fathers. The SPACE Media had reported on 3rd September 2021 on the AAPSU’S stand where if the department fails to comply, it shall see the consequences henceforth a seven days ultimatum was provided.

But on 2nd October 2021, AAPSU has appealed for a protest rally on the Offspring issue on 5th October from Akashdeep to Civil Secretariat with deep anguish and despondency over the repeated failure of the SJETA to comply with the demand the AAPSU had.

Henceforth on 5th October 2021, AAPSU along with hundreds of students bodies from across the ICR stormed into the streets of ICR bellowing “Nai chalega Nai chalega” while they walked past the Akashdeep to Civil Secretariat and then reaching the Tennis Court region here in the state Capital.

The SPACE Media went Live on 5th October where the despondency and deplorable the All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union (AAPSU) was clearly visible. Earlier the Protest was anticipated to be held only within the ICR but the rally on Tuesday witnessed an astounding state-wide protest, which jolted the table of the concerned departments and wreck the sleepy brains of the Government.
