Finance Minister Abul Hasan Mahmud Ali termed the movement of University teachers demanding cancellation of universal pension 'Pratya Scheme' as unreasonable.
The finance minister said this in response to a question from reporters at the Ministry of Planning on Tuesday (July 2).
He also said that he could not find any reason for the movement on the announced 'Pratya Scheme' to include teachers in the universal pension system.
Meanwhile, public University teachers-officers-employees have announced to continue the general strike by refusing to join the universal pension scheme Pratyaya.
Universities have come to a standstill due to the indefinite strike that began on Monday (July 1). Classes, from examinations to administrative activities are closed in the movement. Today, the second day of teachers-employees participated in the strike program. From there, it is clarified that no Prtayaya scheme will be accepted. If necessary, the movement will become stricter and stricter. They claimed that the scheme is discriminatory. So that University teachers will suffer financially.
