On the 41st day of the ongoing indefinite relay hunger strike, the members of Delhi University Teachers Association (DUTA) strongly condemned the university’s move to deduct salaries of teachers who are sitting on hunger strike on their off-days, holidays or by availing causual leaves due to them.
Teachers have been issued notices for pay cut for sitting on hunger strike on gazetted holidays like Eid, Dusshehra and Diwali. Teachers who had availed their due casual leaves and restricted holidays are also being issued pay cut notices.
‘We will not buckle under these pressure tactics and will continue to put up a resolute fight against the tyrannical VC who has lost his moral right to continue in office,’ said a DUTA representative.
DUTA also points out that the university has issued letters asking teachers to evaluate papers of the semester examinations on all days of the week, including Sundays and public holidays.
‘The letters also mention that all leaves will stand cancelled during the evaluation process. These letters are the latest example of all that has been going wrong in this university in recent times. They not only amount to a brazen violation of teachers’ service conditions, but also express the unnatural animosity that the VC harbours towards teachers of the university,’ DUTA representative added.
