Early Times Report
Srinagar, Aug 10: Former IAS officer turned-politician, Shah Faesal on Friday stepped down as president of Jammu and Kashmir People's Movement. Faesal had formed the JKPM in 2019. Faesal, who topped the 2010 civil services exam, on Sunday, had hinted his exit as he removed his reference to his political affiliations from his Twitter account.
The JKPM executive meeting was held on Monday to deliberate on the political developments in the state.
"In the meeting, request of Dr Shah Faesal to spare him from the organisational responsibilities was discussed. Dr Shah Faesal had informed state executive members that he is not in a position to continue with political activities and wants to be freed from the responsibilities of the organisation," the JKPM said.
"Keeping in view this request, it was decided to accept his request so that he can better continue with his life and contribute whichever way he chooses," the party said.
The party also accepted the resignation of chairman Javed Mustafa Mir.
Following the abrogation of Article 370, which allowed revocation of the special status of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir, and dividing it into union territories of Jammu and Kashmir, Faesal was arrested and booked under stringent Public Safety Act in August 2019. He was released in June this year.
According to a report, Faesal's name was not removed from the list of J&K cadre IAS officers, despite his resignation and forming the JKPM.
The news agency also quoted some sources saying that the government recently "send him feelers that they are not averse to his joining back the civil service". |
