SRINAGAR, JAN 23: Former IAS officer-turned-politician Shah Faesal, on Saturday took everyone to surprise as he praised for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and dubbed India as “Jagat Guru”. Responding to Prime Minister Modi’s online session with Covid-19 vaccination beneficiaries in Kashi, Faesal said that this is not just a vaccination program but it is good governance and nation-building.
Posting on microblogging site Twitter, Faesal wrote, “This is more than just a vaccination program. It’s good governance + human capital formation + nation-building + India assuming global leadership as a Jagat Guru.” Dr Faesal wrote this in response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Interactive session with Covid-19 vaccination beneficiaries in Kashi.
Faesal’s social media activity Friday, however, did not end there. He also had a Twitter exchange with BJP leader Kapil Mishra when the latter reacted to the IAS topper’s tweet.
Reacting to Faesal’s tweet, Mishra wrote “370 swaha”, to which the ex-IAS officer responded, “To kya karun mein marjawun (So should I die now?)”.
Earlier, Shah Faesal has been informed by authorities that his resignation has not been accepted. He was made a part of the IAS cadre in Jammu & Kashmir after he had topped the civil services in 2010. In 2018, he had left for the USA supposedly to pursue further studies in the USA and following his return, he had established the JKPM. (PTK)
