Shah Faesal

Kashmiri IAS officer Shah Faesal’s reinstatement come as surprise

Faesal, a 2010 batch IAS, had resigned from service in January 2019 and floated his own political party, Jammu & Kashmir People’s Movement (JKPM). He had said one of the reasons that provoked him to quit as an IAS officer was “the marginalisation and invisiblisation” of around 200 million Indian Muslims at the hands of Hindutva forces reducing them to second-class citizens.
