Teachers' delegation meets speaker, submits demands
Kolkata: A five-member delegation of protesting teachers met speaker Biman Banerjee for around 10 minutes in the state assembly on Friday and submitted their demands.
They sought a discussion in the assembly on their recruitment, to which the speaker said the motion needed to come from an MLA.
The delegation also wanted that the new recruitment process be kept in abeyance till the review petition was heard.
On Thursday, a group of "untainted" teachers, who lost their jobs following a Supreme Court order in April, started a fresh fast-unto-death agitation near the SSC office under the banner of 'Jogyo Shikshak-Shikshika Adhikar Mancha (Genuine Teachers' Rights Forum)'. The new protest was initiated by 10 teachers amid the process of vacant posts being filled up, a notification for which was issued on May 30. Their main demand was to not appear for examinations again.
