+illiteracy +alcohol +porn +technology +anarchy = rapistan". People had said his tweet was in relation to India, but he had later clarified it was not. However disciplinary action was taken by the Jammu and Kashmir government as well as the central government's Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and the inquiry was still going on before his resignation. During the 2016 Kashmir unrest, Faesal had urged the national media not to use his pictures for drawing a comparison with Burhan Wani, a Kashmiri militant and commander of Hizbul Mujahideen. During this episode he had threatened to resign through a Facebook post if such primetime propaganda did not stop. In 2019, Hizbul Mujahideen circulated a poster warning people about Shah Faesal. In February 2019, the Ministry of Home Affairs withdrew the security cover of 155 people in Jammu and Kashmir, and this included Shah Faesal, who had until then had been provided security as a bureaucrat. On 14 August 2019 he was detained while flying out of IGI Airport to Turkey and sent back to Kashmir. Views Apart from the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan, Faesal Shah has also named Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal as a role model. Mani Shankar Aiyar, another Indian bureaucrat turned politician who went on to become a Union Minister, wrote an article on Shah Faesal called "Kashmir's Arvind Kejriwal". On 3 March 2019, Shah Faesal recommended the Nobel Peace Prize for Imran Khan for "saving South Asia from a nuclear catastrophe." Faesal, during a talk in New Delhi in February 2019 at the India International Center, said that Kashmir is like a "High Altitude Graveyard". He has suggested ways forward including "humanising the discourse" and advising people not to see the Kashmir issue as a mere "law and order problem". On 5 March 2021, taking to Twitter, Faesal wrote, "Friends let’s sort it out for once. I have always been pro-India. But now I am single-mindedly, shamelessly, helplessly and unapologetically pro-India. I stick to my side. It is a long story and I have to tell this story one day. But this is how it is going to be. Peace." Personal life Shah Faesal is married to Iram Rashid, an officer of KAS, and has a son named Jami Faesal. References Bibliography Khalid Shah (2019). Shah Faesal and the paradox of Kashmir.
