JMM general secretary Binod Pandey alleged that State government had taken several steps to prevent the pre-planned protest of para-teachers adding the protestors were even threatened of being terminated from service if they implement their plan.
“When the teachers did stage the protest at the venue of Statehood Day function they were beaten up in front of Governor and the CM. Moreover about a dozen of media persons were also hit with lathi by the police,” he said.
Pandey said according to report hundreds of para teacher are injured and are admitted in RIMS. He alleged that arrested para teachers were kept in the camp jail without drinking water and meals and were treated as anti-nationals.
