T
he All India Ulama and the Mashaikh Board said the resignation of Shah Faesal, Indian Civil Services Topper (2010), has come as an emotional decision that was taken in haste. “Faesal discouraged all those Muslim youth in India who believed him to be their ideal and were preparing to join civil services with this move,” the AIUMB said.
The Board has issued a press note and said that this decision is not favorable for the rights of Kashmiri youths, but rather it is going to damage the interests of Kashmiri people, because with this move, there will be a feeling of mistrust among the people which is injurious to their progress.
“When Shah Faesal topped the Civil Services in 2010, there was a lot of excitement among all the Kashmiri youths and he showed a better path for the distressed youths to a part of the mainstream and hopeful lot”, it said.
Maulana Maqbul Misbahi, an AIUMB affiliate and a Delhi-based Muslim cleric, expressed that Shah Faesal could have served the Kashmiri people better as an IAS officer than a politician. “It would have been better if he had continued in government service and done the job for which he had taken the oath,” Misbahi said.
AIUMB office secretary, Yunus Mohani commented: “This decision of Shah Faesal will strengthen the ideology which is engaged in curbing the youth’s aspirations and turning them from progression towards backwardness. There will be harm to those young people who have got fresh hopes in the valley”.
