World will take note of his cry of anguish : Chidambaram on Kashmiri IAS officer's resignation

New Delhi, JaN 10 (IBNS) :Senior Congress leader P Chidambaram  on Thursday hit out at the BJP-led  government at the Centre over the resignation of Kashmiri IAS officer Shah Faesal, saying the world will take note of “his cry of anguish and defiance”.

In a series of tweets, the former Finance Minister the resignation of Faesal,  the first Kashmiri IAS topper, tells the truth and  is an indictment of the Narendra Modi government.

“Though sad, I salute Mr Shah Faesal IAS (now resigned). Every word of his statement is true and is an indictment of the BJP government. The world will take note of his cry of anguish and defiance,” he said.

Faesal on Wednesday had  resigned from the civil services. He said that his decision was prompted by the  “unabated killings in Kashmir”, the central government’s “lack of sincere” efforts to reach out to the Kashmiris and the “marginalisation of the Indian Muslims”.

Reacting to the development, Chidambaram tweeted that not long ago “legendary police officer” Julio Ribeiro, a former DGP of Punjab and a former commissioner of Mumbai Police, had stated the same thing, but no reassurance was forthcoming from the government.

"Not long ago Mr Rebeiro, the legendary police officer, said the same thing, but there was not a word of reassurance from the Rulers. Such statements from our fellow citizens must make us hang our heads in regret and shame."

 

Ribeiro had said the country needed inclusive development and not just for some sections.

He had also said he “felt threatened, not wanted, reduced to a stranger in his own country” and that he never felt that he belonged to a different religion.
