JAMMU, Apr 1: Making revelation that resignation of IAS officer Shah Faisal has not yet been accepted by the Government notwithstanding his floating a political party and openly campaigning for the same, Team Jammu Chairman Zorawar Singh Jamwal today demanded a high -level probe into the matter.
Addressing a press conference here today , Team Jammu chief disclosed that even after more than two and half month time, Shah Faisal’s resignation has not yet been accepted by the Government whereas the controversial IAS officer has taken a political plunge and also floated a party namely JKPM.
“Shah Faisal tendered his resignation on January 9 this year and announced to join politics but his resignation has not yet been accepted whereas resignation of another IAS officer Farooq Shah was accepted within a week’s time,” he pointed out.
Similarly, he added, there are a number of instances when the Government employees were ousted from the services for even making a political comment whereas in the case of Shah Faisal, the Service rules were being thrown to winds. “If there were an elected Government in J&K, the blame for delaying acceptance of resignation could have been given to Kashmir centric approach of those at the help of affairs but all this is happening during the Governor’s rule here,” he exclaimed.
Zorawar Singh Jamwal alleged that the Government was adopting double yardsticks, one for those who believe in the system and another for the anarchists like Shah Faisal. Smelling a deep rooted conspiracy in not accepting the resignation of Shah Faisal despite his plunge into active politics, the Team Jammu chief alleged that anti-India elements were still active at higher places of public office and trying to promote the trouble makers like Shah Faisal, who criticize India.
Zorawar Singh demanded a high level probe into the entire episode of Shah Faisal’s resignation and identify the persons, who are responsible for allowing him to continue in Government service with salary and other benefits despite his resignation.
The Team Jammu chief further alleged that a nexus of Government employees was promoting Shah Faisal and actively participating in the political activities. In this connection, he displayed the photographs and videos of a Government teacher, posted in Kishtwar, who is campaigning for JKPM party and Shah Faisal.
