Mr. Bhat termed the suspension of teachers, for not completing the verification of students on the National scholarship portal on time “unfortunate”.
In a statement issued today Mr Bhat said that teachers should have been given a chance to explain their position by calling an explanation.
“Teachers have done their duties honestly and sincerely everywhere especially during the Pandemic and tried their best to reach out to the students, instead of degrading and distressing teachers, a friendly approach ought to have been adopted in this particular case,” statement reads.
Bhat appealed the DSEK to look into the matter and suspended teachers to be given a chance to explain their position as to what caused the delay which will be in consonance of justice.
Mr. Bhat hoped that the concerned officers will revoke the orders issued in happiness so that justice prevails.
