Contrary to GOIs tall claims of getting investment to create employment they are deliberately laying off government employees despite knowing that people in J&K rely on government jobs for their livelihood”.
She further tweeted “ Hounding Kashmiris endlessly deflates their fake narrative that all is well in J&K. ‘Links to militants’ is the new excuse used to dispossess & humiliate Kashmiris”.
The Union Territory (UT) government has constituted a Special Task Force (STF) which will “scrutinise cases of employees suspected of activities requiring action under Article 311 (2) (c)”.
