Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 22: Politics intensified in the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir after the Government terminated four terror-friendly' employees on Wednesday.
Two constituents of the People's Alliance for Gupkar Declaration (PAGD)-the PDP and National Conference have opposed this decision of the government to act against those indulged in “anti-national” activities.
“J&K administration has created an abysmal record of sorts by dismissing more employees than recruiting new ones. Snatching the livelihood of Kashmiris on false trivial grounds isnt just collective punishment. But also signifies the manner in which all Kashmiris are mistrusted and humiliated on a daily basis”, Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) chief and former Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti stated.
After constituting a Special Task Force (STF) to identify and scrutinize government employees with links to activities that pose threat to national security in April 2021 year, the J&K government has dismissed 50 terror-friendly employees. Some employees have challenged this termination in the courts.
Echoing the stand taken by Mehbooba Mufti, the National Conference has termed the dismissal orders arbitrary.
Former Chief Minister and NC leader Omar Abdullah lambasted the government for terminating employees on the charges of anti-nationals.
“Terminated employees should have been given space to prove whether allegations against them are true? It is unfortunate, let the regime change this matter will be revisited”, Omar demanded.
“Such arbitrary action has created a fear psychosis among the employees and impaired the work culture in government departments,” the NC spokesman person said and described the dismissals as orders that “smack of injustice and vengeance.”
The J&K administration on Wednesday terminated four government employees including the president of the Doctors Association of Kashmir (DAK) for “posing a threat to State's security” under Article 311(2)(c), which requires no departmental inquiry except for police or an official report. |
