Lucknow, Mar 20: A number of aspirants who cleared the Teachers Eligibility Test (TET) were today lathicharged by the police when they were heading toward the Vidhan Bhawan. Demanding that the state government not cancel the TET examination, the aspirants gathered from all over the state headed toward the Vidhan Bhawan.

They were stopped by the police from proceeding and when the use of water cannons did not disperse them police resorted to baton charge, official sources said. The aspirants under the banner of TET Passed Sangharsh Morcha demanded that they be immediately employed in primary schools as they had cleared the TET examination.

They later sent a memorandum of their demands to Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and sat in a dharna at Jhulela Park. The TET exams was held last year after the arrest of then Director Secondary Education Sanjay Mohan due to alleged discrepancies in the exam and taking money for clearing the names of examinees.

For misdeeds of the officers, 72825 TET passed aspirants should not be targeted, Sangharsh Morcha officer bearer Ganesh Dixit asserted.

Samajwadi Party faces its first major law-and-order challenge


Uttar Pradesh's new Samajwadi Party (SP) government Tuesday faced its first major law and order challenge as police and hundreds of TET (Teachers Eligibility Test) candidates demanding immediate recruitment fought pitched battles outside the assembly.


Trouble began when the crowd, carrying placards like "hamare umeed ki cycle aap (you are our bicycle of hope - SP's punchline during the polls)" and shouting anti-SP slogans, started walking towards the Vidhan Sabha and demanded that a senior government functionary talk to them.
They demanded an assurance that there would be an early solution to the TET mess. Pending a probe, announced by the former Mayawati government following charges of large-scale malpractice and favouritism, the selected candidates want the new government to immediately announce their recruitment.
When police officials asked the demonstrators to submit a memorandum and leave, the men and women stuck to their demands following which water cannons were used on the mob. When even that was ineffective, police personnel resorted to canes to disperse the crowd. Eyewitnesses said even the young were brutally hit by the policemen.
As a result, traffic was badly hit on the busy Vidhan Sabha-Railway Station road.
