Terrorism Crackdown: J&K Dismisses Govt Employees

In a significant move against terrorism, Jammu and Kashmir’s administration has sacked two government employees due to their alleged links with terrorist organizations and engagement in anti-national activities. The terminations were carried out swiftly under Article 311(2)(c) of the Indian Constitution, a provision enabling the dismissal of individuals deemed a security risk without a lengthy inquiry. This action reiterates the administration’s unwavering commitment to a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism. Ghulam Hussain, a teacher in the Education Department, faces accusations of serving as an Over Ground Worker (OGW) for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), actively participating in terrorist recruitment and fundraising in the Reasi district. Additionally, Majid Iqbal Dar, previously a teacher and Lab Assistant, has been dismissed for alleged involvement in narco-terrorism, radicalizing youth, and channeling drug money into terror financing. His alleged connections to IED plots in Rajouri and continued subversive efforts, even during detention, highlight the severity of the charges. These dismissals are a clear signal of the administration’s resolve to dismantle the terror network operating within Jammu and Kashmir.
