Srinagar, 13th May. Three government employees have been terminated by the Jammu and Kashmir administration for their alleged terror links.
Altaf Hussain Pandit, Chemistry professor of Kashmir University, Mohd Maqbool Hajam, a teacher in the School Education department and Ghulam Rasool, a Jammu & Kashmir Police constable have been sacked from government service over terror links, said Jammu and Kashmir Administration sources.
The recent action on a terror group and anti-national network, that took place on Thursday, was a part of the government’s attempt to uncover and mitigate terror elements within the system who sneak-in into the system during the previous regimes.
According to the sources, Altaf Hussain Pandit was actively linked with Jamaat-e-Islam (JeI) and had crossed over to Pakistan for terror training. Altaf remained an active terrorist of the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) for three years before his arrest by the security forces in 1993.
Altaf also remained an active cadre of Jamaat-e-Islam and worked as a terror recruiter. He was involved in organizing stone-pelting, and vicious protests against the killing of terrorists in 2011 and 2014.
In 2015, Altaf became an executive member of the Kashmir University Teachers Association and purportedly used the position to spread secessionism among students.
Altaf also provoked students to join terror ranks.
Mohd Maqbool Hajam was a terror overground worker (OGW) who used to radicalize individuals. He was part of a crowd which attacked a police station in Sogam and other government buildings. In spite of being a government teacher, Maqbool was always found involved in terror activities.
The third official sacked, Ghulam Rasool was working as an underground ally of terrorists. He was also an informant to the terrorists, who used to tip off the terrorists and overground workers about anti-terror operations.
Rasool is also blamed of leaking the names of police officials involved in anti-terror operations.
Rasool was in touch with Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Mushtaq Ahmad alias Aurangzeb, who has crossed over to Pakistan.
The designated committee in Jammu & Kashmir for inspecting and recommending cases under article 311 (2) (c) of the Constitution of India had suggested the termination of these three employees from their government service for having terror links and working as an overground worker.
