Agartala, Aug 23, 2012 : The agitating computer faculties are being used for playing politics by certain stakeholders, School Education Minister Tapan Chakraborty said on Thursday. Speaking to reporters at the civil secretariat on the day, Chakraborty said that the state government has accepted demands of agitating computer faculties and has notified a hike of Rs. 2,000 over their existing pay.
“Opposition MLA Subal Bhowmik and Ajoy Biswas, chief of their ally party – PDS came to us and discussed about the issue. They were quite satisfied about our explanation”, said the minister and said that certain stakeholders are trying to politicalize the issue.
Demands of computer faculties, who have resorted to hunger strike, have been carefully considered by the state government, the minister said adding that the consideration was made purely on humanitarian basis.
