Kolkata, Apr 10 (Reporter) West Bengal's major opposition political parties - the BJP, Left, Congress - and various civic and social organisations on Thursday expressed their solidarity with the teachers rendered jobless after a Supreme Court verdict and condemned the police lathi charge on them in South kolkata's Kasba. They opposition parties demanded the Mamata Banerjee government segregate the eligible and non-eligible candidates and restore jobs to the eligible teachers. Meetings and rallies were held in almost all the districts of the state since Thursday morning. Kolkata was flooded with big and small rallies brought out by the opposition parties. The BJP and its frontal wings like Yuva Morcha and Mahila Morcha, led a protest at Kasba police station to protest the police lathi charge on the agitating teachers on Wednesday.
