J&K govt employees forced to attend Int’l Yoga Day event, Mehbooba

Former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister and PDP chief Mehbooba Mufti alleged that government employees in the state are being forced to be present at the International Yoga Day event led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Jammu and Kashmir.

“An occasion for celebration has become one that fills people with dread. A day before International Yoga day all govt



employees along with school children have been ordered to show up at different venues at ungodly hours. Even pregnant employees have not been spared. A pregnant employee was threatened to choose between her job or being present at the event,” she alleged, in response to an activist’s post alleging that female government employees in Srinagar were asked to arrive by 4 am on the day of the event.
