AGARTALA / NEW DELHI, Sep 6 (TIWN): For the first time, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb has opened up about the ongoing 10323 teachers Job termination issue. Expressing extreme disgust over 10323 teachers attitudes against the State Govt, CM revealed that the 10323 teachers have threatened him to meet them on 14th August or they would go for massive protest. Biplab Deb said, even a mother will not feed milk to her baby if the baby doesn’t ask it properly. When the baby cries then only mother feeds it milk but the 10323 teachers writing to a Chief Minister but has no respect rather only threats were delivered. “If you hear 10323 teachers demands, you will tell me what to do. They had directly written about 5 demands and out of those demands the first demand was 7th Pay Commission along with regularization with all benefits like regular teachers. When Supreme Court has called them unqualified and dismissed them from jobs, how can we restore their jobs?”, added CM.

CM further pointed out fulfilling demands of 10323 teachers will be nothing but preparation for him and the Education Minister to go into jail.

According to Supreme Court’s order the 10323 tecahers of Tripura will lose their ad-hoc extension by 30th June 2020. Since 2014, the terminated 10323 teachers have continued their battles for existence after Tripura High Court in 2014, 7th May terminated all the teachers spotting irregularities in recruitment. The situation started to be critical due to previous CPI-M Govt’s ego against petitioners and instead of providing them jobs according to High Court’s order, the Govt started the battle in Supreme Court and finally Supreme Court in 2017 held High Court’s decision. Now, this is the ultimate time when final decisions about 10323 teachers will be taken.

The 10323 teachers fist lost their jobs in High Court’s verdict in 2014 due to irregularities in recruitment. Then the previous CPI-M led State Sovt managed stay order on High Court’s order by appealing Supreme Court and after much delays in the hearings, finally Supreme Court also in 2017, March 29 terminated all the teachers but with humanitarian view Supreme Court permitted all the 10323 teachers to continue their jobs till December 31st, 2017.

When CPI-M led State Govt repealed in Supreme Court to extend their jobs for 1 year, Supreme Court extended the job for 6 months on ad hoc basis and finally only 27 days have left for the teachers final terminations. BJP Govt then appealed in Supreme Court to extend the teachers jobs beyond June 30, 2018 for more 2 years. BJP to urge Supreme Court to extend those teachers jobs till 2020, 30th June and SC also extended for 17 months to control the teachers’ crisis.

Now, 10323 teachers are undergoing heavy tension as the ad-hoc arrangement is going to end 30th June 2020. The teachers are now preparing for mass-movements.
