Dimapur, August 14 (MExN): The Nagaland Pradesh Congress Committee (NPCC) has slammed the DAN Cabinet’s decisions and review decisions on various subjects in recent times, stating that it has “proved beyond doubt the incompetence” of the DAN government. “Governance is not a child’s play,” it retorted in a press note issued by its media cell.
Emphasizing more on the failure of DAN government, it stated that the recent decision and review decision on bogus teachers appointment scam is one glaring example. 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 Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) under plan. The orders were published in all the local dailies on 20th July 2011. 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 students’ organizations.
“Quite amusingly, the DAN legislators backed the Cabinet decision on suspension of retention and regularization order. The DAN legislators in its consultative meeting also decided to go for thorough of investigation; in other words, another round of harassment. Where’s the sign of effective governance they promised?” it said.
It also alleged that the 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. The angle of investigations had covered the bureaucratic side only, thereby making them the scape-goats. So long as the DAN government tries to cover the politicians, no tangible solution to the impasse can be expected. Needless to say, the scam has strings attached to it in which the DAN government is just helpless.
“For how long the DAN government will subject the genuine teachers to harassment and jeopardize the future of the innocent students? Since 2002, the genuine teachers and the innocent students have been put to test. The DAN government has ruined a generation of students who may become social liability for no fault of theirs’. The DAN government will be held entirely responsible for such unpleasant future,” it added.
Concerning the issue, it has demanded the government to bring 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.
