AGARTALA, Sep 22 (TIWN): Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) teachers have claimed that Tripura Govt has misinterpreted the High Court's verdict on SSA's regularization. Calling a press conference at Agartala Press Club, the SSA teachers said that they do not agree with the decision taken by Tripura Govt which is a deprivation to the teachers. Talking to the media, SSA teacher Bastab Debbarma said, "We can't not accept the decision. We will file a Condemn of Court petition in this regard. We will fight legally and also through democratic movement. But, one thing I want to say here is that we never expected such a decision from this Govt". Referring to Education Minister Ratan Lal Nath's claim of a regular pay scale to be given to all teachers, Bastab Debbarma said that such claims of the Minister have no connection with the reality. Already people are getting equal pay but the Court asked the State to permanently regularize the teachers and so the Govt has to regularize all teachers without discriminations.
It can be mentioned here that BJP before 2018 poll had promised all contractual employees of the state that once BJP comes to power Govt will regularize all including NHM, SSA, RMSA, Health and all other Depts. On that time, BJP did not mention any barrier about the qualification of the employees.
Before 2018 Poll, BJP and IPFT leaders including the incumbent CM and Education Minister joined SSA's "Hunger Strike".
The statement from SSA Association came after Cabinet had taken final decision over SSA's regularization on the background High Court's order.
