Teachers union said the Education Department is in a shamble while holding peaceful protests is our right and will continue to do so.
Teachers said that the government should solve the problems of teachers instead of retaliating.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Education Department has suspended the teachers, so why should they go to school now, Azizullah said.
I have a meeting with Chief Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa today, Azizullah said.
Moreover, Punjab Information Minister Azma Bukhari reacting to the suspension of protesting teachers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said that it is hypocritical to suspend teachers in the province for protesting while PTI promotes protests in Punjab.
She said promotions are given to police and rescue personnel who attacked the Federation.
She further said that suspending teachers who protest peacefully is shameful and reprehensible. NNI
