Partha Pratim Ray, General Secretary of the Jadavpur Teacher Association (JUTA) in a letter wrote that the recent incidents of violence against teachers are “After this audio, can the teachers of JU feel safe? If anything happens to any of the teachers, who will take the responsibility?” He further asked, “Is it a part of a big conspiracy against the JU teaching community? We strongly believe that the majority of students are not at all related to these activities and they respect all the teachers of JU.”
“One of the reasons for the achievements of JU is the strong teacher-student relationship that exists here. This audio establishes that there is a plan to break this strong teacher-student relationship,” the letter read.
