Meghalaya's additional chief
secretary in charge of the political department will lead the panel to examine
a CBI report on the 2009 education job scam, following a direction from the
Meghalaya HC, Shillong. The incumbent chief secretary PS
Thangkhiew is named an accused in the CBI report. A division bench of Chief Justice
Ajay Kumar Mittal and Justice H S Thangkhiew passed the order last week while
granting the state government the extension of six months to complete the
inquiry into job scam. The CBI report had highlighted
that the majority of candidates were appointed in an irregular manner by
changing their original marks on account of experience, education,
qualification in the score-sheets by applying a white fluid (correction ink). It had pointed out that while the
education department had selected 350 candidates, 255 other names were included
in the list on the recommendation of politicians. Among the politicians named in the
report are five cabinet ministers, the then speaker and six legislators in the
Congress-led coalition government besides other politicians for tampering with
the score-sheets of the candidates applying for the post of assistant teachers
in 2010.
