J-K Administration Dismisses Four Employees For ‘Spreading Malicious Propaganda Against India’

The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Wednesday dismissed four employees for allegedly performing anti-national activities. The government employees were sacked by stating that they were involved with the “forces that work against India by spreading malicious propaganda’’ against India which was a threat to national security. 

The J-K government invoked Article 311 (2) (c) of the Constitution to dismiss a police constable, a laboratory bearer, a teacher and a medical assistant professor.   

“The dismissal of these government employees follows their involvement with the forces that work against India by spreading malicious propaganda,” officials said as reported by news agency IANS.

The dismissal of government employees was started after the UT government formed a committee that was tasked to investigate allegations of involvement of government employees in anti-national activities that aimed to protect national integration.
