‘Article 370 is thing of past’, says IAS officer Shah Faesal

With the Supreme Court fixing July 11 to hear pleas challenging the abrogation of Article 370, IAS officer Shah Faesal, one of the petitioners has said that the matter now is a “thing of the past”.

While talking to ANI over the phone, the bureaucrat said that he has withdrawn his petition challenging the Presidential Order to scrap Article 370 a long time back.

“I have withdrawn the petition in the Supreme Court challenging the Presidential Order to scrap Article 370 long ago,” he said.

Taking to Twitter, the IAS officer said that there is no going back, but only marching forward. Faesal was the lead petitioner challenging the abrogation of Article 370 nearly four years after it was implemented on August 5, 2019.

“370, for many Kashmiris like me, is a thing of the past. Jhelum and Ganga have merged in the great Indian Ocean for good. There is no going back. There is only marching forward,” Shah said in his tweet.
