Such measures will alienate people who are already reeling under pandemic: NC
The Hurriyat, headed by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and the National Conference (NC) on Tuesday criticised the termination orders of three government employees by the J&K Lieutenant Governor under the newly introduced Article 311 this month.
“It’s most inhuman and cruel to render people jobless in such a manner, by invoking a draconian law. The government should revoke these orders and stop harassing and intimidating the employees,” a spokesman of the Mirwaiz said.
He said people of J&K were dealing with the deadly virus and daily fatalities. “Instead of mitigating people’s sufferings caused by the pandemic, the government is pursuing such ruthless dismissals. We appeal to rights organisations and legal experts to take notice of these measures and provide assistance in safeguarding and securing the employees’ rights.”
