Kolkata, May 19 (UNI) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said there were more outsiders than teachers who are on protest in front of Bikash Bhavan, adding there is always a 'Laxman Rekha' for every 'andolon' (agitation).
"Please don’t ask me to say anything about it (on dismissed teachers)," Banerjee said when asked about her comment on the ongoing protests, which entered its 13th day on Monday.
"I had and will always have sympathy for them. I held a meeting and said that we will file a review. We have to follow the law in matters of the court, and there are some obligations. Everyone needs to understand that. We have filed a review petition. Our lawyers will try to ensure that their jobs remain intact However, we cannot ignore court orders," Banerjee told media at Dum Dum Airport before leaving for north Bengal's three-day visit.
