SRINAGAR: After causing a stir among thousands of Special Police Officers (SPOs) in Jammu and Kashmir with a tweet about their much-awaited pay hike, the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference (JKNC) removed the tweet and issued a clarification hours later.
The original post, shared from party’s official social media handle, claimed an increase in the honorarium for SPOs, which quickly sparked reactions.
The tweet, which appeared to confirm the hike, was later removed by the party.
In response to the confusion, the party also announced the removal of its Social Media Advisor to the Vice President, stating that the post was shared without proper verification.
The tweet reads, “a recent post concerning SPOs honorarium was put out from various handles connected to the party & the Chief Minister. This post should not have been put out & was done without any attempt to verify or cross check the information being put out. While we have been strongly advocating for an increase in the honorarium & we are making every effort to see this done it hasn’t happened till now”.
“The person responsible has been taken to task & has been divested of his responsibility as Social Media advisor to VP JKNC”, tweet further reads.
