SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir government has sacked four top officers including the wife of Bitta Karate and the son of Hizbul Mujahadeen chief Syed Salahuddin, for terror links.
A press statement issued by the government said four employees were dismissed under Article 311 of the Constitution of India for their involvement in anti-national activities.
Article 311 provides for the dismissal of a person employed in civil capacities under a Union or a State. The government said the activities of these employees had come to the adverse notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as they have been found involved in activities prejudicial to the interests of the security of the State.
“The Committee constituted for scrutinizing the inputs, records, and cognizable material recommended dismissal of Dr. Muheet Ahmad Bhat, Scientist-D in Post-Graduate Department of Computer Science, University of Kashmir, Majid Hussain Qadri, Senior Assistant Professor, Department of Management Studies, University of Kashmir, Syed Abdul Mueed, Manager, IT, JKEDI, and Assabah-ul-Arjamand Khan, DPO, Publicity, Directorate of Rural Development, Kashmir,” the statement said.
The government said Dr. Muheet Ahmad Bhat has been found involved in propagating the secessionist-terrorist agenda in the University of Kashmir by radicalizing the students for advancing the program and agenda of Pakistan and its proxies.
“Majid Hussain Qadri, a Senior Assistant Professor at the University of Kashmir has a long association with terror organizations that includes LeT. He had been earlier booked under Public Safety Act and is figuring in several FIRs registered u/s 302, 307, and 427, 7/27 RPC relating to various terror-related cases,” the statement said.
The government said Syed Abdul Mueed, Manager, IT, JKEDI has been found to have a role in three terror attacks on the JKEDI complex at Sempora in Pampore and his presence in the Institution has increased sympathy with the secessionist forces. Mueed is the son of Hizbul Mujahadeen chief Syed Salahuddin.
