Acting under orders from Lt Governor V K Saxena, the Delhi government has suspended the transfer of 5,000 school teachers who have been at the same institution for over a decade.
This decision follows a meeting between Delhi BJP officials, teachers' representatives, and Saxena in his office. AAP alleges that the transfers were part of a BJP conspiracy, whereas the Congress has denounced both AAP and BJP for turning the matter into a political spectacle.
Delhi Education Minister Atishi argued that the transfer orders were an attempt to derail educational progress in the region.
