Some two dozen people staged a protest outside Delhi Assembly here on Wednesday against a Bill that seeks to regularise guest teachers and which is to be passed at a special one-day session in the Assembly during the day.

The bill, approved by the Delhi cabinet last week, seeks to regularise 15,000 guest teachers in Delhi government schools.

The protestors, who claimed to be aspirants, demanded holding of a competitive exam for all aspirants and not to give any special treatment to guest teachers.

They said that injustice was being done to them by giving preference to guest teachers.

One of the protestors Amit Kumar, 39, told IANS: "This is my last chance and if they pass the Bill, then I won't get a chance."
