Srinagar/Jan, 23: Former IAS officer Shah Faesal Wednesday kick started a fund raising campaign for “clean politics and corruption-free administration” in Jammu and Kashmir.
Taking to micro blogging social networking site twitter twitter “be a part of this journey for clean politics and corruption-free administration in J&K. Support Shah Faesal with your small donations”.
Faesal put a bank account number for contributions on social media sites Facebook and twitter and said payments could also be made through e-wallet.
Faesal resigned from country’s elite service IAS saying “unabated killings in Kashmir, and lack of any sincere reach-out from the Union government; the marginalisation 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 J&K and growing culture of intolerance and hate in mainland India in the name of hypernationalism”.
While he has made it clear that he would like to contest the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, Faesal has not joined any political party so far.Speculation is rife that he might float a new political outfit.
