Earlier, Shah Faesal, appeal for crowd funding in Jammu and Kashmir has received an overwhelming response. He, however, adds he will not accept any foreign funding and will make all donations public.
The 2010 Indian Administrative Services topper says the response shows the sentiment of people as hundreds have already deposited donations in his account. The donations start from Rs 2 to Rs 50,000.
Meanwhile He said that he took the step to protest against the ‘unabated killings and lack of political outreach from New Delhi.’
In a Facebook post, Faesal said, “To protest against the unabated killings in Kashmir, and lack of any sincere reach-out from the Union Government; the marginalization and invisiblization 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 J&K State and growing culture of intolerance and hate in the mainland India in the name of hypernationalism, I have decided to resign from Indian Administrative Service.”
Faesal said he wished to remind the regime of the day that subversion of public institutions like RBI, CBI and NIA has the potential to decimate the Constitutional edifice of this Country and it needs to be stopped.
“I wish to reiterate that voices of reason in this country cannot be muzzled for long and the environment of siege will need to end if we wish to usher in true democracy,” he said his Facebook post.
Meanwhile, National Conference Vice President Omar Abdullah welcomed him into the political fold. (PTK)
