AGARTALA, March 20 (TIWN): Tripura Assembly was adjourned today over 10323 teachers’ issue, followed by a massive demonstration was staged by teachers in front of Tripura Assembly. The moment went out of control as soon as opposition raised 10323 teachers issue and asked 13000 posts status and demands reactivation. Reportedly, Education Minister Ratanlal Nath lost cool immediately and started displaying angry gestures with attacking words. Also BJP MLAs raised slogan in the Assembly to attack the Leftist leaders. The speaker was bound to adjourn the Assembly, whereas the Opposition walked out of the Assembly for today. When walking out, a ruling party MLA (unidentified yet) from behind used a filthy word against the opposition group. Holding a press meet, former Chief Minister cum Opposition leader Manik Sarkar said, “This is not Democracy. Totally unexpected. Assembly is the place, where people keep their eyes with hopes that their problems will be solved here".

"It is place to debate, discussion, find out solution but the way the situation has taken turn, it no more remained Democratic”. 

Manik Sarkar also said, this same decision which was taken on yesterday by cabinet on 10323, why the Govt could not take the decision earlier but just 12 days before terminations ? He said, this is just to divert the issue.

He asked, after 31^st March who will give the teachers food, medicine, livelihood ?

On being asked by media, Manik Sarkar said, “Supreme Court never decides what Govt will do in recruitment process. Only after recruitment, Supreme Court may give opinion if anyone files petition”.

The issue raised, as on yesterday, Education Minister Ratanlal Nath told media that 13000 non-teaching posts were dismissed by Supreme Court which were created by the previous Left Govt.

Manik Sarkar also said, "We still say clearly that - Yes, we recruited 10323 teachers and if they are illegal, then all employees since 1978 are illegal". 

The CPI-M MLAs walked out of the Assembly for today but tomorrow also same issue will be raised, said Manik Sarkar condemning the “undemocratic” situation inside the Assembly hall.
