AGARTALA, Aug 3 (TIWN): Keeping muteness over BJP’s pre-poll promise of solving 10323 teachers’ problems, Education cum Law Minister Ratanlal Nath says, nobody is above the law. However, he asked journalists to ask him about this teachers’ issue another time in a different place. “Nobody is above the law, including Law Minister. I can not deliver any message for b10323 teachers like this”, he added. Nath was addressing after a judgement of the Supreme Court in 10323 teachers case as a part of monitoring teachers recruitment. Govt has told the Supreme Court that there are huge crisis of teachers and B.Ed holders. So Govt of Tripura is sending students outside for B.Ed degrees with loans and also managed special relaxation of B.Ed in teachers recruitment. In November there will be massive recruitment in Tripura with relaxations. This statement however has created massive tension and also resentment among 10323 teachers, as before the Assembly Election 10323 teachers not only converted into BJP but also campaigned for them.

The statement from the Minister came like this : "We told the Court about lack of B.Ed holders and qualified candidates. Supreme Court while extending 10323 teachers’ jobs till 2020 said that the Court will monitor the case time to time what have we (Tripura Govt) done to diminish the teachers crisis. We have told court how we sent our students outside for B.Ed with loans and how we managed special relaxation for job aspirants. In November we will take huge numbers of teachers. Supreme Court is very happy with the Tripura Govt’s actions”.
