| Crackdown Continues | | |
The crackdown against the terror friendly government employees in Jammu and Kashmir is continuing. Till date more than thirty employees have been terminated for having links with the terrorists. On Wednesday the government sacked two more employees, including a Deputy Superintendent of Jails and a Principal of a government school.
These terminations were cleared by a designated committee of the Jammu and Kashmir administration constituted to recommend cases under Article 311(2)(C) of the Constitution.
During the past few months the J&K Government has gone after the employees who worked with the ultras and had connections with them.
Prior to August 5, 2019—when the Centre announced its decision to abrogate J&K’s special status and divided it into two union territories—the government employees used to openly support the separatists and their ideology on the social media. The former Kashmir centric regimes just ignored it on the pretext of freedom of speech. This encouraged a few elements to develop connections with the separatists and ultras and they carried forward their agenda. However, after August 5, 2019, the situation has changed the government has been keeping a vigil on the activities of its employees and has been acting tough against the anti-nationals.
In July this year the government in the first instance dismissed 11 employees, including two sons of Hizbul chief Syed Salhauddin. After that nearly 20 more government employees were shown the exit door. After Centre’s August 5, 2019 decision the government amended Article 226 (2) of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service Regulations for a provision to retire at any time any government servant in the public interest after he has completed 22 years of service or attained 48 years of age. The rules were amended to ensure that the terminated employees don’t get their jobs back.
The process to act against the terror-friendly employees of J&K Government had commenced on July 30, 2020 when the UT Government amended the service rules and dispensed with the requirement of an enquiry for dismissal of the employees emerging as a threat to the security of the State. For the first time, the government devised a mechanism to terminate the ‘anti-national employees’ without facing judicial scrutiny.
During the past two years the rules have been made stringent. The government employees who used to think that they are above the law have been made accountable. The message is clear that they have to choose between separatism and nationalism. They cannot sail in two boats. |
