The Modi-led government has terminated the services of 23 additional government employees in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK). This move is part of an ongoing series of dismissals in the region, which the administration claims are based on various allegations against the employees.
Critics argue that these terminations are aligned with the government's broader policy objectives in the disputed territory. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) administration has been implementing measures that some view as attempts to alter the demographic and economic landscape of the Muslim-majority area.
The United Nations recognizes IIOJK as a disputed region. India's actions in the territory, including these recent dismissals, have drawn international attention and raised questions about the impact on the local population's livelihood and rights.
Despite these administrative actions, reports suggest that peaceful activism continues in the region. The government's policies and their effectiveness in addressing local concerns remain subjects of ongoing debate and scrutiny.
