In a continued effort to dismantle any connections between government personnel and terrorist activities, the Jammu and Kashmir administration took decisive action on Wednesday by dismissing four individuals, including a doctor and a policeman, over alleged terror links in the Union Territory.
The dismissed individuals are Assistant Professor (Medicine) Nisar-ul-Hassan from SMHS Hospital in Srinagar, Constable Abdul Majeed Bhat of the Jammu and Kashmir Police, Laboratory Bearer Abdul Salam Rather from the Higher Education Department, and Farooq Ahmad Mir, a teacher in the Education Department. Their removal from service was executed in accordance with Article 11 of the Constitution of India, according to officials.
The Jammu and Kashmir administration, under the leadership of the LG, continues its resolute stance against the terrorist ecosystem and its infiltration into key positions within the government. These individuals, allegedly linked to terror activities, were clandestinely integrated into the government machinery during different political regimes in the past.
“The policy is unequivocal – zero tolerance towards terrorism. The LG administration is unwavering in its commitment to making J&K terror-free. This move serves as a stern warning to supporters of terrorism and their sympathizers that they will be held accountable, irrespective of operating covertly under various covers,” stated government sources.
Over the last three years, the Union Territory administration has invoked Article 311 (2)(c) of the Constitution to dismiss more than 50 employees suspected of operating within the government while allegedly assisting Pakistani terror outfits. The dismissed individuals were accused of providing logistical support to terrorists, propagating terrorist ideologies, raising terror finances, and promoting a secessionist agenda. This ongoing initiative underscores the administration’s dedication to upholding national security and eradicating any form of support for terrorism within its ranks.
