Hizbul chief’s son among 4 employees sacked by J&K admin

Srinagar: The Jammu and Kashmir government Saturday sacked four employees including son of Syed Salahuddin, the self-styled chief of banned terror group Hizbul Mujahideen, and the wife of a jailed separatist who was also involved in fatal attack on minority community members.
All the four have been dismissed for allegedly having links with forces working against India and spreading malicious propaganda, officials said.They have been dismissed under Article 311 of the Constitution which enables the government to sack its employees without any inquiry. Syed Abdul Mueed, son of Salahuddin (Syed Mohd Yusuf) and Manager (Information and Technology) at the Commerce and Industries Department, is among the dismissed employees. He is the third son of the Hizb chief to have been sacked from the government job. Syed Ahmed Shakeel and Shahid Yusuf were dismissed from service last year.
According to the officials, Mueed has allegedly been found having a role in three terror attacks on the Jammu and Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute complex at Sempora in Pampore and his presence in the institution has led to increased sympathy with the secessionist forces. Assabah-ul-Arjamand Khan, the wife of Farooq Ahmed Dar alias 'Bitta Karate' and a 2011-batch Jammu and Kashmir Administrative Service officer (JKAS), is alleged to have been found involved in providing false information for seeking a passport.pti
