'BJP doing dirty politics in name of Op Sindoor...': Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray demands Special Session of Parliament
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 4 (ANI): Echoing the Opposition's demand for a Special Session of Parliament to discuss Operation Sindoor, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray alleged that the BJP is doing dirty politics over Operation Sindoor. Speaking to the media, Thackeray said, 'Yes, we are demanding this (Special Session). On one hand, we are united before the world; the opposition and ruling side are going out as a united front before the world and telling them how Pakistan-based terrorism can be dismantled. But on the other hand, a few leaders of the BJP are doing dirty politics in our country in the name of Operation Sindoor. We want to fight against it.' The Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA raised questions regarding the Pahalgam attack and asked if the terrorists have been caught. 'Truth should come out that how the terrorist (behind the Pahalgam terrorist attack) came there. Have they been caught? Where are they? Have they entered the BJP? It is essential to ask this,' he said. On controversial statements being made over Eid al-Adha, Aaditya Thackeray said that the government should not interfere in festivals. He added that the government should focus on farmers' suicides and flooding due to heavy rainfall, instead of festivals. 'Why should calls be made to save this or save that in every festival? Celebrate festivals. It is always save water, save colour, save this and save that. Let people breathe. It is not the job of the government. The government's job is to see that if farmers are dying by suicide, go and support them. If houses are flooded in rain, go and check why it happened. The government's job is to search for the four Pakistani terrorists who came here. It is not their job to interfere with festivals,' Thackeray said. Meanwhile, leaders of the INDIA bloc held a meeting in the Constitution Club, Delhi, on Tuesday and furthered the demand for a Special Session of Parliament. Post the meeting, speaking to media, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said, 'There are signatures of 16 political parties on the letter that we have written to the Prime Minister. This is not a normal letter. The opposition is the voice of the public. We want a special session to be called to discuss whatever has happened in the country so far...' (ANI)

Cop, teacher among 3 govt staffers sacked over terror links
Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Lt Governor Manoj Sinha on Tuesday dismissed three government employees for their alleged involvement with proscribed terror outfits Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen, officials said. A police constable, a school teacher and a junior assistant in a government medical college were terminated under Article 311(2)(c) of the Constitution, which allows dismissal without an inquiry 'in the interest of national security'. All three are currently lodged in jail, they said. Over 75 government employees with terror links have been dismissed so far by the LG administration. Officials said the action is part of the administration's continued crackdown on terror infrastructure, including overground workers (OGWs) and sympathisers embedded within government institutions. The dismissed employees were identified as Malik Ishfaq Naseer, a police constable, Ajaz Ahmed, a teacher in the school education department and Waseem Ahmad Khan, a junior assistant in Government Medical College, Srinagar. The sacked employees were 'active terror collaborators,' involved in logistics, arms smuggling, and aiding terror operations against security forces and civilians, a senior security official said. Constable Malik Ishfaq Naseer, recruited in 2007, came under suspicion during an investigation into arms smuggling in 2021. His brother Malik Asif was a Pakistan-trained LeT militant and was killed in 2018, but he allegedly continued to support the outfit while serving in the police, he said. 'He used his position to identify safe drop locations for arms, explosives, and narcotics, and shared GPS coordinates with Pakistani handlers,' the official said. Malik also allegedly distributed these consignments to active terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir. His LeT link was exposed in September, 2021 when J&K police was investigating a case related to smuggling of arms and explosives in Jammu region. 'He was not only identifying the safe location, sharing the coordinates with LeT handlers in Pakistan but he was also collecting and distributing arms and ammunition to terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir region enabling them to carry out terrorist attacks on security forces and civilians,' a senior security official. He said that instead of helping the police department in fighting the terror which he was mandated for, he chose to be a mole and a collaborator and betrayed his oath and uniform. 'His betrayal of the oath and uniform has caused grave damage to the department, society and the nation,' the official added. Ajaz Ahmed, who joined the Education Department in 2011, was found smuggling arms, ammunition, and Hizb-ul-Mujahideen propaganda material. He was arrested during a routine police check in November 2023. According to the probe, the arms were meant for militants operating in Kashmir, sent by his handler Abid Ramzan Sheikh, a Hizb-ul-Mujahideen operative based in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Ajaz Ahmed was allegedly involved in such activities for several years and he became a trusted terror associate of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen in the Poonch region. He was actively helping the terror outfit in smuggling arms, ammunition and narcotics, the officer said. The terror link with Hizb-ul-Mujahideen was exposed in November 2023 when police arrested Ajaz Ahmed and his friend during a routine check. Both were carrying arms, ammunition and posters of Hizb-ul-Mujahideen in his car. Waseem Ahmad Khan, a junior assistant at Government Medical College, Srinagar, appointed in 2007, was allegedly found to be part of a terror plot that led to the assassination of journalist Shujaat Bukhari and his security personnel in June 2018, the officer said.
