Can’t accept verdict, but will abide by it: Mamata on Supreme Court invalidating school jobs

Kolkata: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said she has the highest regard for the judiciary but could not accept the Supreme Court’s verdict invalidating the appointments of school teachers.

The SC invalidated the appointment of 25,753 teachers and other staff of state-run and state-aided schools.

While I have the highest respect for the judiciary and judges, I cannot accept the judgement from a humanitarian point of view,” Banerjee said, addressing a press conference.
