The Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor’s administration’s move to sack a government teacher for his alleged role during the 2016 street protests drew flak from former J&K Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti on Saturday.
The sacked employee, Manzoor Ahmed Laway, from D.H. Pora of Kulgam district, was a teacher in the education department. Invoking amended Article 311, Mr. Laway was accused of “involvement in anti-national activities”.
“The activities of the employee had come to the adverse notice of law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as they found him involved in activities prejudicial to the interests of the State, such as involvement in terror related activities,” a government spokesman said.
