"Accordingly, the Lieutenant Governor hereby dismisses Ms Razyah Sultan from service with immediate effect," said the order. On Friday, the government order said, "Lt Governor is satisfied under sub-clause (c) of the proviso to Clause (2) of Article 311 of the constitution of India that in the interest of the security of the state, it's not expedient to hold an inquiry in case of Ms Razyah Sultan head teacher in government Middle School Khiram, Anantnag". In 2000, she got her job on compassionate grounds after due process of the police and security verification followed in such appointments. Mr Bhat had contested 1987 elections as a candidate of the Muslim United Front or MUF. Her father Mohammad Sultan Bhat, a member of Jamaat Islami was kidnapped and subsequently killed by unknown terrorists in 1996. I request the state government to provide me details as I know nothing about my case," said Razia Sultana. I have never been involved in any undesirable and unlawful activity.

I strongly object to the accusations which are baseless and imaginary. "I am surprised, rather shocked, to know about termination of my services. No reason has been given for her sacking by the government. The head teacher of Middle School Khiram in Anantnag district received an order of her dismissal. The law invoked to dismiss Ms Sultana provides for the sacking of a government employee without an inquiry or a chance to explain her position. Twenty years after the government appointed her as a teacher on compassionate grounds following the killing of her father by unknown terrorists, Razia Sultana has been sacked by the Jammu and Kashmir administration.
