STC NEWS DESK
JAMMU, FEBRUARY 15 (STC):
Employees terminated over alleged terror links should be given a fair opportunity to prove their innocence, said J&K Chief Minister Omar Abdullah while speaking to reporters here today.
He reiterated that as per the law, everyone is innocent until proven guilty. “If there is evidence against them and they fail to justify themselves after being given a chance, then the action is justified.
However, if they are dismissed without being heard, it goes against the principle that everyone is innocent until proven guilty,” he stated. The Chief Minister was responding to the recent termination of three government employees in Jammu and Kashmir. (STC)
