Dimapur, Aug. 31 (EMN): Peren unit of the RMSA teachers’ association has extended ‘unflinching support’ to the cause taken up by the Nagaland RMSA Teachers’ Association 2016 for equal treatment to all centrally sponsored schemes.
In a press note, RMSA Peren unit has questioned relevance on the part of the state government in demanding the teachers to go on working without salary for five months.
“The Supreme Court has given an order that there should be equal pay for equal work. Are we backdoor appointees? Or is our service not to our own people?” questioned the association to the state government.
The association further questioned the state government why the RMSA teachers were discriminated from the others, whereas they have undergone written and viva voice tests like any other competitive examinations to the satisfaction of the state government.
“Why is the government forcing us against our own will to accept deduction of salary? This maybe the first time in the history of Nagaland or even India that a government servant is forced to accept deducted salary with the threat that the consequences will be termination (sic)” the released stated.
“It is sad to see our government, who speaks of quality education all the time yet care so little about our problems and hardships. NRMSATA Peren unit will stand by with the central forum with every strength left in us. We will fight till the last until justice is delivered to us,” it affirmed.
The association has urged upon every right thinking citizens of Nagaland to stand with them at this point of time of crisis when they are suppressed by the government.
