AGARTALA, Sep 3 (TIWN): Joint Movement Committee (JMC) of the 10323 teachers recently staged a sit-in demonstration for a day seeking back their jobs, but so far no solution has come out amid 16 months of jobless conditions. JMC sources said they will kick off more protests in the coming days.

JMC members said, "Our jobs never had gone and we are strict to our demands of reappointment of us". The terminated teachers also expressed resentment over the justice system, alleging that the justice system is playing a partial role against the teachers. Talking to the media, JMC leader Ajay Debbarma asked, how the 2012's recruited employees are still employees of the Govt but under the same recruitment policy, other teachers are terminated ? The JMC also raised various legal questions which repeatedly the JMC had asked earlier but the Education Dept did not clarify the matter. Being jobless for 18 months, JMC have demanded their jobs back as they are unable to bear the family expenditure. The JMC also paid tribute to the teachers who have lost their lives in the battle. So far 106 teachers have died and JMC also demanded die-in-harness jobs for the family members of their dead colleagues. 

"Even Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath has accepted that our jobs had never gone for our qualification..............so it was basically for Govt fault and irregularities in recruitment process. If so, why are 2012's jobs spared but we are terminated ?", asked Ajay Debbarma.
