The guilty must be punished or the school recruitment scam will become a precedent in the future, said Trinamool Congress.
Trinamool Congress spokesperson Kunal Ghosh Saturday said that those involved in the teachers recruitment scam must be punished or it will create a precedent in future.
In an apparent reference to Bengal minister Partha Chatterjee, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in the teachers recruitment scam, he said those tasked with resolving the crisis have made a mess out of it.
"The school recruitment issue has become a mess because of a few people who were tasked with resolving the crisis. The guilty must be punished or the scam will become a precedent in the future," Mr Ghosh said.
The ED last week arrested Mr Chatterjee, who was the education minister when the irregularities took place. The central agency is probing the money trail in the scam and has recovered about Rs 50 crore in cash, besides gold and foreign currency from two flats owned by Mr Chatterjee's associate Arpita Mukherjee.
