Jairam Thakur Questions Ban on Teachers’ Protest During Assembly Session

Shimla, November 9: Leader of Opposition and former Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Monday criticised the Sukhu government’s reported decision to prohibit teachers’ protests during the Assembly session, accusing it of applying double standards towards public demonstrations.

Thakur said the government described protests by the Chief Minister and Congress leaders against constitutional authorities as the “beauty of democracy”, while restricting teachers from raising their long-pending demands. He alleged that the government was using restrictions to prevent public dissent instead of fulfilling its promises.

He said the government should honour its commitments and address people’s grievances rather than prevent them from taking to the streets. He warned that growing dissatisfaction could bring different sections of society together against the government.
