Faesal had resigned as an IAS officer in January 2019 to protest against ‘marginalisation of Indian Muslims’. He then started his own party, only to leave politics in August 2020.
In a tweet, Faesal said the vaccine drive is 'good governance' & 'India assuming global leadership as a Jagat Guru'. He had quit politics a year after the scrapping of Article 370.
Kannan Gopinathan, who resigned as IAS officer following Shah Faesal’s arrest last year, said speculation over him rejoining the service won’t change his mind.
Mufti’s daughter Iltija, who is operating her mother’s Twitter account, wrote the central govt is ‘pressurising’ political parties & leaders who refuse to accept scrapping of Article 370.
Shah Faesal is the founder of Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Movement party, but his Twitter bio now only reads as ‘Edward S Fellow @HKS Harvard University. Medico. Fulbright. Centrist’.
Sartaj Madni, who is also former J&K CM Mehbooba Mufti's uncle, and former legislator Peer Mansoor are the two PDP leaders released along with Shah Faesal.
No nation other than China can negotiate one-on-one with Trump on an equal footing. That’s why the middle powers who so far formed the core of multilateral bodies now feel orphaned.
