Agartala, 20 Oct 2022: With the demand for re-joining their workplace, 10323 terminated teachers began to protest by hunger strike in Sakuntala area of Agartala on Thursday.
In a few days back press meet, The organization of the sacked teachers that announced the hunger strike is being led by Pradip Banik, who is considered to be very close to the ruling BJP party, and on numerous occasions, he openly defended the Tripura government whenever the Opposition tried to mount pressure on the government surrounding the issue of 10,323 teachers.
He also requested political parties not to use their lives as a means of gaining political mileage. “Recently, we have seen that a leader of a regional party is quite excited to help 10,323 teachers. He should know that more than 70 late teachers were from indigenous communities and around 50 percent of 10,323 are tribals. They are depressed and still fighting for survival. I appeal to the whole state cabinet to please consider our issue and reinstate us in the schools again,” said Pradip Banik.
