Rahul Gandhi urges President Murmu to protect jobs of sacked WB teachers

This comes after the Supreme Court found irregularities in their appointment process.

Gandhi asked Murmu to ensure that candidates who were selected through fair means are allowed to continue as school teachers.

Earlier today, the apex court put a stay on Calcutta High Court’s order directing an investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into the West Bengal government’s decision to establish supernumerary posts in the School Service Commission (SSC) recruitment process.

While this decision allows temporary relief to the state administration, which was previously facing scrutiny over alleged irregularities in the appointment of teachers, the ruling has also led to the cancellation of 25,000 appointments of teaching and non-teaching staff in West Bengal.
