For the last two months people in Jammu & Kashmir are upset to hear highly provocative and questionable remarks on the working of key government institutions in the state and the latest such questionable remarks from the governor has come on the role and conduct of teachers. In an interview telecast live on a news channel in Delhi the Governor Satya Pal Malik said some teachers of militant background have been recruited in education department and he been also told by some people that some employees join in stone pelting crowds after attending their duties. The allegations of the governor are very serious and deserve immediate attention of the people running the affairs of education department and intelligence wing of the Jammu & Kashmir police department. Administrative wisdom demands that before publicly accusing teachers and government employees the governor should have called up the verification records of the government employees suspected to be part of stone pelting crowds from the intelligence wing of the Jammu & Kashmir Police as no fresh recruit is allowed to join government service or draw salary without a clearance certificate from the territorial police of the area concerned and the two intelligence wings of the police department. The allegations against teachers without verification of their antecedent is hurting and insulting for the whole teaching community.
The teachers of Kashmir deserve accolades for increasing the trends and tendencies of Kashmiri youth in the participation of All India service examination but not the surprising contemptuous remarks made by the Governor.
None else than Governor Satya Pal Malik can talk about the difficulties teachers in schools are facing in the conduct of classes in the aftermath of gunfights and street clashes and interestingly during last ten years of turbulent phase of violence the trend of Kashmiri youth qualifying prestigious All Indian Services Examinations like Civil Services (IAS,IFS, IPS etc) has been increasing year after year . So the teachers of Kashmir deserve accolades for increasing the trends and tendencies of Kashmiri youth in the participation of All India service examination but not the surprising contemptuous remarks made by the governor . Administrative wisdom and political ethics demands that teachers and youth are encouraged for showing intents of creating a competitive educational atmosphere in the state.
