Pulwama jihadi attack: Employees suspended over insensitive, 'anti-national' posts on social media

In the wake of the jihadi attack on the CRPF convoy in Awantipora, Pulwama which killed 40 jawans, companies and media offices have asked their employees to be wary of the kind of posts they put out on social media, keeping in mind the sensitivity of the situation.

For instance, Macleods Pharmaceuticals employee Riyaz Ahmed Wani was suspended and served a show cause notice, asking him to explain his offensive comments on the Pulwama terror attack within seven days, failing which his services will be permanently terminated.
