Asserting that governance was not a “child’s play”, the NPCC today said DAN Cabinet’s decisions and review decisions on various subjects in recent times were “childish without application of mind.”
NPCC media said, in a statement, it proved beyond doubt the incompetence of the DAN government.
“The recent decision and review decision on bogus teachers appointment scam is one glaring example,” the Congress’ media cell said.
It recalled that on March 23, 2011, the DAN Cabinet had approved the retention and regularization of 277 graduate teachers, 792 undergraduate teachers and another 60 graduate teachers (under doubtful category who were not charge sheeted), under SSA under plan.
Reiterating that orders of the cabinet decision were published in all the local dailies on July 20, 2011, the NPCC said within a week’s time the State Cabinet retracted from its earlier decision and decided to keep in abeyance the retention and regularization order following hue and cries from almost all tribal student organizations.
The media cell said “quite amusingly” the DAN legislators backed the Cabinet decision on suspension of retention and regularization order.
Pointing out that DAN legislators at its consultative meeting also decided to go for thorough of investigation; “in other words, another round of harassment,” the NPCC asked “Where’s the sign of effective governance they promised?”
The Congress alleged that DAN government has no political will to resolve the impasse “for the simple reason that some of its Cabinet members were deeply involved in the scam.”
Claiming that angle of investigations had covered the bureaucratic side only, the NPCC said thereby making them the scapegoats.
It pointed out that as long as DAN government attempted to cover the politicians, no tangible solution to the impasse could be expected.
“Needless to say, the scam has strings attached to it in which the DAN government is just helpless,” the media cell asserted.
It went on to ask for how long would the DAN government subject the genuine teachers to harassment and jeopardize the future of the innocent students?” the NPCC added that since the year 2002, the genuine teachers and the innocent students have been put to test.
Alleging that DAN government has ruined a generation of students, who may become social liability for no fault of theirs, the media cell said DAN government would be held entirely responsible for such unpleasant future.
The NPCC further demanded that government bring to an end the impasse within a time-frame so as to relieve the affected genuine teachers and also put a stop to the uncertainty of thousands of innocent students.
“The colossal financial loss incurred on salaries should be curbed from further escalation,” it added.
