Ludhiana, December 8The Punjab State Committee of the MCPI (U) has supported the "just and peaceful" agitation of private-aided schoolteachers who are courting arrests in Chandigarh in support of their demands.
Mr Kuldip Singh, state secretary of the Punjab MCPI (U), said the state Congress led by Capt Amarinder Singh had not only reneged on its promises to teachers, but had also adopted a confrontationist path against teachers and managements of private-aided schools.
He said even women teachers had not been spared and had been put into jails, leading to the closure of schools in the state.
He urged the Punjab Government to accept their demands and release the teachers.
