The TMC spokesperson, Kunal Ghosh, condemned the stay order issued by the Calcutta High Court, accusing certain political elements of deriving “monstrous glee” from the misfortune of those who lost their livelihoods. Ghosh vowed that the party would explore all legal options to ensure that the relief scheme is implemented to support the affected employees.
The controversy stems from the Supreme Court’s decision to annul the 2016 recruitment process, leading to the dismissal of a significant number of non-teaching staff in West Bengal. In response, the state government had proposed a relief scheme to provide financial assistance to the affected individuals, but this initiative has now been put on hold by the court order.
The TMC’s strong stance against the Opposition reflects the party’s commitment to social welfare and support for those in need. Ghosh emphasized that the TMC stands with the sacked employees and will continue to fight for their rights and well-being.
The legal battle surrounding the relief scheme for the sacked non-teaching staff has become a contentious issue in West Bengal politics, with the TMC and the Opposition at odds over the implementation of the support program. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how the judiciary will rule on the matter and what the implications will be for the affected individuals.
