Itanagar, March 21, 2026:
Former MLA and former student leader Tani Loffa has written to the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh seeking an immediate ban on the ongoing AAPSU election process, citing escalating violence.
For the past few months, the AAPSU election has witnessed numerous violence-related incidents. In January, stone pelting and alleged gunfire were reported inside the AAPSU office premises. A week ago, similar clashes occurred outside the AAPSU office, leaving several people injured. On Sunday night, two groups reportedly clashed within the DC office premises, resulting in multiple injuries and damage to property.
Amid such a concerning situation surrounding the ongoing AAPSU election, former leaders like Tani Loffa have stepped forward to raise their voice.
In his letter, Loffa described the situation as unprecedented and expressed concern over what he termed “ugly and uncalled violence.” He urged the state government to impose a total ban on AAPSU until normalcy is restored and further requested that no caretaker body be appointed during this period.
He appealed to the government to take necessary action in the interest of the state and the student community.
