Manik prevent University bill to be pass | AGARTALA, February 13 (TIWN): When an arrogant and irrational autocrat tends to be logical, it confused commoners on his modus of operandi what exactly happened on Friday in Tripura assembly after Chief Minister Manik Sarkar prevented Maharaja Bir Bikram University Bill 2015 to get passed. Sarkar’s move and action was not only confusing for the members of both treasury bench and opposition, also humiliating for the Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty in the house.This is for the second time; Manik humiliated Tapan openly in assembly without any valid reason. In last year, just a second before the bill regarding protection of medicos and non-medicos in the hospital was open for voting; Sarkar prevented it and had sent it to select committee for modification. The then opposition leader Ratan Lal Nath pointed out that the bill was attempted to protect all wrong doing in the hospital leaving aside the interest of the patients. This time also, when opposition leader Sudip Roy Barman identified several loopholes in the bill and proved it, as a desperate attempt of left front to create another hub for below standard certificate holders of CPI-M cadres and mafias. State government kept everything from appointment of VC to Group-D in it’s control, which will set a bad precedence in the country. | 13-Feb-2015 |
