“The order has been issued by the police department to “deny security clearance to those involved in law and order menace, stone pelting and other crimes prejudicial to the security of the state”.”
The Jammu-Kashmir administration on Sunday (August 1) passed orders to deny security clearance to people found involved in anti-national activities.
Any person with a history of creating law and order issues will be denied a passport and government job.
News18 reported that “CID Special Branch Kashmir has directed all units to deny security clearance to those involved in law and order menace, stone pelting and other crimes prejudicial to the security of the state.”
A satisfactory CID report is mandatory for a government job in Jammu-Kashmir.
It is compulsory for a person to “disclose whether any family member or close relative is associated with any political party or organisation, or has participated in any political activity, or has had links with a foreign mission or organisation, or any prescribed/ prohibited/ banned organisation such as the Jamaat-e-Islami.”
Since Article 370 and 35A were abrogated in 2019, massive changes are happening in the way the erstwhile state was governed.
On August 5, 2019, with the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A, erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir state’s special status was withdrawn. The state was restructured into two union territories of Jammu-Kashmir and Ladakh.
