The Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor administration suspends eight officials over alleged pro-separatist content found in school library books, according to multiple reports. An official spokesman says the issue is linked to two books placed in libraries. The spokesman specifically cites the book “Personalities and Legends of J&K,” saying it contains material related to separatism that could potentially lead to law-and-order problems. Scroll.in reports that one passage in the book discusses Maqbool Bhat, identified as the founder of the J&K Liberation Front, who was hanged in 1984. The administration’s action follows an assessment of the books’ contents and results in disciplinary suspension of the officials responsible for the materials or their placement. The reports present the administration’s view that the referenced material may inflame separatist sentiment, while the stated basis for the suspension remains the alleged presence of separatism-linked content in the library holdings.
