The 2010 IAS topper Shah Faesal blaming people for not crying against his own detention and other mainstream leaders during the detention period is an indication that he had put in his papers out of compulsion but not out of moral conviction. Kanan Gopinathan a non Kashmir IAS officer dared to put in his papers against the abrogation of Article 370 just on high moral grounds and no top mainstream leader of Jammu & Kashmir was as critical of the Prime Minister as was Gopinathan over the abrogation of Article 370. On the contrary all the recent statements of Shah Faesal show that he is desperate to quit politics for again securing his career as a bureaucrat in Jammu & Kashmir. Unfortunately no mainstream politician of Jammu & Kashmir dares to seek explanation from Shah Faesal over his sermons on political and bureaucratic morality as he virtually stabbed into the back of the people of Kashmir with a sudden announcement of quitting mainstream politics. No one dares to ask him about the fate of the petition he had filed against Article 370 abrogation and J&K Reorganisation Act 2019 in the supreme court of the country. Unfortunately mainstream politicians welcoming the resignation of Shah Faesal tend to become the part of his bigger political betrayal in Jammu & Kashmir. Let Faesal muster the courage to tell the people that is he going to withdraw the petition filed by him against Article 370 abrogation and J&K Reorganisation Act 2019 just to weaken the other pleas filed by National Conference and others against central government’s August 5, 2019 decisions or would he carry on his legal fight against the Modi Government’s decisions on Jammu and Kashmir till a final decision by the apex court of the country.
By all standards of understandbilities Faesal has no moral right to lecture us on public campaign against Article 370 abrogation and downgrading of the erstwhile state to a union territory but morality demands that Faesal seeks an apology from the people for deserting them just in short spell of one year. History can’t forget him for being the part of biggest political betrayal of the incumbent central government and he will be remembered as a political deserter in the post August 2019 political history of Jammu & Kashmir. Better for Shah Faesal and other IAS Officers of Kashmir to learn lessons from the high moral stand of Kanan Gopinathan on August 5, 2019 decisions and desist from the acts of betrayal.
Faesal who used to accuse others of selling fake dreams is by all standards of understandabilities fast becoming the part of the biggest betrayal of the incumbent central government. Fesal and other IAS officers of Jammu & Kashmir have to bear in mind that qualifying IAS is not a favour to the people of Jammu & Kashmir but is just fulfillment of a personal ambition of a particular All India Service Officer. Leaders have to lead the people but they are not supposed to be led by others but unfortunately Faesal by quitting mainstream politics has failed to show his capacity to lead the people from the front in fight for restoration of statehood and special status. By all standards of understandbilities Faesal has no moral right to lecture us on public campaign against Article 370 abrogation and downgrading of the erstwhile state to a union territory but morality demands that Faesal seeks an apology from the people for deserting them just in short spell of one year. History can’t forget him for being the part of biggest political betrayal of the incumbent central government and he will be remembered as a political deserter in the post August 2019 political history of Jammu & Kashmir. Better for Shah Faesal and other IAS Officers of Kashmir to learn lessons from the high moral stand of Kanan Gopinathan on August 5, 2019 decisions and desist from the acts of betrayal.
