Srinagar, March 10 : BJP regime has disengaged three govt employees from their duties in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir. The workers of the Jal Shakti Department were dismissed over their pro freedom and anti activities, the officials said.
The official orders said Showkat Ahmad Zargar, Liyaqat Ali Bhagwan and Kousar Hussain Bhagwan were dismissed from their service under draconian law Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA) in south Kashmir Islamabad and Kishtwar districts.
The administration under New Delhi installed Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha labelling Kashmiri employees of being involved in "pro-freedom" or "anti-India" activities, often described by critics as a way to "marginalize local Kashmiris".
The All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC) has strongly condemned these actions, labeling them a "blatant violation of fundamental rights".
Kashmiri observers have expressed concerns that these dismissals are part of a broader strategy to replace local employees with outsiders, thereby altering the demographic composition of the territory. The move is largely viewed as part of the BJP's "clampdown" on dissent and efforts to tighten its control over the region’s administrative machinery through BJP/RSS non Kashmiri officers in the occupied territory.
