Mehbooba Mufti, the leader of the PDP, criticized the Jammu and Kashmir government on Sunday for removing Kashmiri workers from their jobs based only on the suspicion that they support terrorism.

The former chief minister declared on X, formerly known as Twitter, that “selectively terminating Kashmiri employees by falsely labeling them as terrorist sympathizers & pro ISI has been normalized.” “With the government serving as judge and jury, the accused isn’t given the opportunity to prove his innocence.
