Call for Justice: Reviewing Employee Dismissals in Jammu and Kashmir

PDP president Mehbooba Mufti has urged for a thorough review of government employee dismissals in Jammu and Kashmir. Since Article 370's abrogation, many employees have been terminated under Article 311(2)(c) without due process, impacting families significantly. Mufti advocates for a review committee to ensure fair assessments.

Mehbooba Mufti, President of the PDP, made a compelling appeal for the reconsideration of government employee dismissals in Jammu and Kashmir. She urged Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to initiate a comprehensive review following nearly 70 sackings under Article 311(2)(c), associated with alleged terror links.

Mufti highlighted the devastating impact on families due to the abrupt dismissals, advocating for a review committee to reassess such cases fairly. She provided the example of Nazir Ahmad Wani, whose unwarranted dismissal led to severe personal consequences.

The PDP president stressed the need for reforms to prevent future injustices, ensuring due process and support for affected families. This initiative aims to address the broader climate of uncertainty among state employees.
