A Kashmiri lecturer was suspended from the Union Territory’s education department by the Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor’s administration in Srinagar, four days after he pleaded for six minutes against the Centre’s move to end J&K’s special constitutional position before the Supreme Court.
The School Education Department has placed Zahoor Ahmad Bhat, a senior lecturer of political science under suspension with immediate effect for violation of provisions of Jammu & Kashmir Civil Service Regulations, Jammu & Kashmir Government Employees Conduct Rules and J&K Leave Rules.
“During the period of suspension, the delinquent shall remain attached in the office of Director School Education Jammu,” reads the order.
