IAS officer Shah Faesal, who
was the first Kashmiri to top the exam in 2009, resigned protesting the
“unabated” killings in Kashmir and marginalisation of Indian Muslims.
“In the absence of any
credible political initiative from Union Government, I have decided to resign
from IAS. Kashmiri lives matter,” said Faesal. At the time of resigning, he was
on leave, pursuing a Master’s Degree as a Mason fellow at Harvard University.
After topping the civil
service exam in 2010, Faesal was allotted the home cadre of Jammu and Kashmir.
While he would be addressing media on Friday to announce his next move, sources
indicated he would be joining the National Conference and might contest Lok
Sabha election from Baramulla seat.
