Lieutenant Governor of
Jammu and Kashmir dismisses employees for anti-national activities
JAMMU, APRIL 10: The Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and
Kashmir on 10.04.2025 dismissed two employees, belonging one each to Police
Department (Assistant Wireless Operator) and Public Works (R&B) Department
(Senior Assistant) in terms of Article 311 of the Constitution of India for
their deep involvement in anti-national activities.
The activities of these below mentioned employees had
come to the adverse notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as
they found them thickly involved in activities prejudicial to the interests of
the State evidencing their involvement in terror related activities.
Basharat Ahmad Mir, Assistant Wireless Operator in Jammu and Kashmir
Police Department S/o Ghulam Mohammad Mir R/o Upper Brein District Srinagar,
was under intelligence radar on the basis of highly credible inputs from
agencies that he was in continuous touch with Pakistan Intelligence Operatives.
He was sharing critical and vital information to the Adversary about security
installations and deployment with the enemies. He, being a trained police
official, posted at a sensitive place, had access to the vital information concerning National Security but instead of
choosing to shoulder the responsibility of a responsible police official, chose
otherwise to be an active conduit playing in the hands of the adversary. His actions
posed a significant threat to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of
India having potential to comprise broader National Security Interest of India.
Ishtiyak Ahmed Malik, Senior Assistant in Public Works (R&B) Department
S/o Late Ghulam Rasool Malik Ahmad R/o Shitroo Larnoo, District Anantnag, is
listed as an active member of the proscribed unlawful association (JeI-JK) and
terror associate of proscribed terrorist organization Hizbul-Mujahideen. He, as
a key functionary of JeI, played a crucial role in strengthening the organization
within his sphere of influence. He also facilitated creation of network of
sympathizers who later became Overground workers and foot soldiers of Hizbul
Mujahideen terror outfit, which has been involved in series of terrorist
attacks on Indian Security Forces, Politicians, Government Functionaries,
Civilians, Military Establishments and Critical Infrastructure. He covertly
facilitated terrorist activities of Hizbul Muzahideen by providing food,
shelter and other logistics to the terrorists and played a significant role in
aiding, facilitating, guiding and abetting terrorist activities especially in
South Kashmir. He used to provide crucial intelligence to the terrorists
regarding movement of security forces, helping them to evade capture and launch
counter attacks often resulting in casualties among security forces.
A Zero tolerance policy has been adopted towards the
anti-national elements who have been taking advantage of being in the
Government service.
