2010 IAS topper Shah Faesal on Wednesday resigned protesting against the “unabated” killings in Kashmir and a “lack of sincere reach out” from the Union government. In a Facebook statement, Faesal wrote said his resignation was also to protest “the marginalization and invisiblisation of around 200 million Indian Muslims at the hands of Hindutva forces reducing them to second-class citizens; insidious attacks on the special identity of the state and growing culture of intolerance and hate in mainland India in the name of hyper-nationalism”.
Faesal further wrote that he had decided to resign from Indian Administrative Service, “to protest against the unabated killings in Kashmir, and lack of any sincere reach out from the Union government”.
