Faesal Shah, the first Kashmiri to have cleared the prestigious Indian Administrative Service (IAS) examination, has been making news lately for his comments on the violence in the Valley.
Faesal has ruffled feathers all over with an article that was printed by The Indian Express. He also posts regular statements on the current Kashmir situation on his Facebook account.
The latest in the series of these comments comes in the form of this Facebook post:
The post, which got over two thousand likes, received varied comments, from both those who supported Faesal and those who very unequivocally condemned his views. Here is a curation of some of them.
‘Kashmir is Like a Spoilt Brat’
‘India is the Jailer Who Jails Kashmir’
Even in his coloumn on The Indian Express, Faesal had accused India and its prime television news channels of distancing and alienating Kashmir from the rest of the country.
Faesal did not hesitate in naming the news channels he has qualms against.
