The students' body attended the joint high power committee meeting on the vexed Chakma-Hajong issue in New Delhi yesterday, which was chaired by Joint Secretary (North East) Satyendra Garg, the release said.
AAPSU president Hawa Bagang told representatives of the Union Home Ministry that citizenship to the Chakma-Hajong refugees "will never be acceptable to the people of Arunachal Pradesh".
He also highlighted the "atrocities committed by the refugees against the indigenous people" and doubted the Centre's "sincerity in resolving the issue", the release said.
"Unrelenting attitude (of the Chakma-Hajongs) asking for citizenship within Arunachal Pradesh will boomerang and the people of the state will never accept it," Dai said.

The meeting was convened as a follow-up to AAPSU's demand in June last year here, seeking an early solution to the contentious refugee issue, the release added.
All-party meeting, convened by Chief Minister Pema Khandu on June 19, 2017 had decided to move the Union Home Ministry to revive the Joint High Powered Committee on Chakma and Hajong refugee issue.
Chakmas and Hajongs were originally residents of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in erstwhile East Pakistan, who left their homeland when it was submerged by the Kaptai dam project in the 1960s.
Several organisations and civil society in Arunachal Pradesh have been opposing citizenship to the Chakma and Hajong refugees, saying it would change the demography of the state.
