JK govt initiates action against 2010 IAS topper Shah Faesal over tweet on rape

The Jammu and Kashmir government has initiated disciplinary action against 2010-batch IAS exam topper Shah Faesal for his tweet about frequent rapes which was seen by the Centre's Department of Personnel and Training as his failure to maintain absolute honesty and integrity in discharge of duties.

In a notice to Faesal, the General Administration Department said, "You have allegedly failed to maintain absolute honesty and integrity in the discharge of official duty and thus acted in a manner unbecoming of a public servant. "
"Love letter from my boss for my sarcastic tweet against rape-culture in South Asia.The Irony here is that service rules with a colonial spirit are invoked in a democratic India to stifle the freedom of conscience."
