Bukhari appeals LG to revisit termination order of teacher

Excelsior Correspondent

SRINAGAR, May 2: President Apni Party Syed Mohammad Altaf Bukhari termed the expulsion of a Government teacher from the services as an unfortunate and an avoidable decision that has deprived a poor family of its livelihood in highly pressing times.
In a statement issued here, Bukhari said that it seems that some elements within the system have misled the Lieutenant Governor on such a sensitive subject which has fuelled the level of insecurity and alienation among the people especially the employees working in the government sector.
He said that it is ironical that the accused teacher was not provided any opportunity to speak or defend himself against the charges levelled against him. Bukhari said that the order smacks of an autocratic tone thus eliminating all privileges enjoyed by a citizen living in the world’s largest democracy having a free and fair judicial set-up in place.
He appealed the Lieutenant Governor to revisit termination order of the teacher and reinstate the poor hapless teacher.
