Rising People’s Party (RPP) has affirmed support to the All Nagaland Ad hoc Teachers Group-2015 batch (ANATG-2015) demand for service regularization.
Accusing School Education department of “giving all sorts of excuses”, RPP said the principal director school education should not mislead the cabinet without knowing the facts. According to RPP, the grade-III Ad hoc teachers were not impleaded in the ACAUT/PSAN litigation filed before the High Court, case no. 145 (K) 2017. RPP said that the litigation pertained only to those posts falling under the purview of NPSC, which it claimed were filled up through “backdoor”.
Further, RPP stated that teachers were appointed under a separate recruitment policy (with requisite qualification), which was not under the purview of NPSC exam. Therefore, it said that to label all agitating teachers as “backdoor appointees” was “unfair, and hurtful.”
RPP stated that the “contradictory stand” of NDPP-BJP coalition on matters of regularization only showed “lack of good counsel and indecisiveness of the Cabinet.” It pointed out that recently, 2290 RMSA and SSA teachers of 2010 and 2013 batches were absorbed/regularized– meaning that their salary was now wholly paid by the state government.
In this regard, RPP questioned whether the school education department should have two separate regularization policies? It also asked if the advisor school education would publicly address the contradictions?
Asking the NDPP-BJP coalition to stop victimizing the 1166 teachers, RPP urged the agitating teachers to stand their ground till the state government assured that justice will be served.
