The Government vide no GAD/Mtg/RB-IV/43/2017, in exercise of powers conferred by the provision to section 124 of the constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, the Governor made amendment in the Jammu and Kashmir Employees Conduct Rule, 1971. "No Government employee shall engage in any criminal, dishonest, immoral or notoriously disgraceful conduct on social media which may be prejudicial to the Government," the order states.
It further states that Government employee shall also not use their personal social media accounts for any political activity or endorse the posts or tweets or blogs of any political figure and also shall not use their accounts in a manner that could reasonably be constructed to imply that Government endorses or sanctions their personal activities in any matter whatsoever. They shall also not post inflammatory, extraneous messages in an online community with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal, on topic discussions.
It may be recalled that that on December 18, ET had published a story in which a lecturer working in GMC Jammu Dr Kailash Singh Thakur had made political statement by directly targeting the Chief Minister of the state throwing all the service conduct rules (CCA & J&K Medical Education Gazzatted Service Rules).
"The race to take credit. Now it is crystal clear why Health Department was deliberately being made target because PDP could not digest the announcement of setting up of Medical University by Bali Bhagat the Minister Health and Medical Education. People know and understand the fact that it is only Bhagat who has the credit of announcing and setting up a committee to establish a Medical University in J and K”.
