Srinagar: The 2010 Indian Administrative Service (IAS) exam topper Shah Faesal erupted a huge row when he shared a "sarcastic tweet against rape-culture in south Asia".

Worth mention here the IAS officer is facing disciplinary action for his social media post which is about frequent rapes.

But he was supported by former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister Omar Abdullah. Taking to Micro blogging website Twitter, the National Conference superemo stated it looks like the Department of Personnel and Trainings (DoPT) is determined to run after Shah Faesal out of the civil services.

Abdullah referred to the notice issued to Faesal by the General Administration Department and said, “The last line of this page is shocking & unacceptable where they question Faesal’s ‘integrity & honesty’. How is a sarcastic tweet dishonest? How does it make him corrupt?”Replying to a tweet, Abdullah further said: "You have no problem when officers from Rajasthan and elsewhere defy 'set norms of governance and conduct', yet Faesal's tweet about rape bothers you. Somehow this does not surprise me at all!”

The Ex J&K CM also wrote on Twitter that he saw this notice as a case of “bureaucratic over-enthusiasm where people who are pushing the files at the top do not understand the spirit of the times we are living in.”

 Worth mention here The Jammu and Kashmir’s General Administration Department issued a notice to Faesal after the DoPT urged the state to kick off action against Faesal.
