Srinagar, July 12 (KNS): Senior leader Prof, Saifuddin Soz Monday called the dismissal of 11 government employees from their services as arbitrary and as an act of revenge.  

In a statement, issued to Kashmir News Service (KNS), Soz said that the J&K Lt. Governor’s administration has arbitrarily and illegally dismissed 11 employees from Kashmir and this illegal action will not stand the test before any court of law.

"The government has violated the basic legal requirement of not giving the dismissed employees a chance to explain their position, before their dismissal. The LG administration has closed the doors to any conciliation and reconciliation with the Kashmiri employees. This illegal action will necessarily deepen the political unrest in J&K State," he said.

He said that the moot point is that the government is seen by the people as an entity that is unreasonable in its attitude to people and completely hostile towards the civilian population.

"The government has shown to the world that it is totally shorn of any commitment to the principles of Governance," Soz said. (KNS)
