Srinagar: Bureaucrat turned aspiring politician told Hurriyat (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq that he wished to have the strength and fighting spirit like him.

“Thank you so much for your valuable advice. I wish I had the strength of character and the fighting spirit that is needed to work in the space that you are working in,” Faesal tweeted

He was responding to the Mirwaiz when he earlier tweeted that: “Welcome the stand to resign by @ShahFaesal to protest unabated killing of Kashmiris by GOI. Hope his outrage over killings and his sentiment that #KashmiriLivesMatter guide his choice of politics…”

Thank you so much @MirwaizKashmir. sb Thank you so much for your valuable advice. I wish I had the strength of character and the fighting spirit that is needed to work in the space that you are working in.
