Faesal said he had decided to fight his own political battle against corruption, favouritism and poor governance

The 2009 IAS topper resigned from service to join politics. He had said that his resignation from IAS was a small act of defiance against continuing killings in Kashmir and the failure of the central government to start an initiative to address the Kashmir problem.

It was initially believed that he would join the National Conference.

Faesal said he had decided to fight his own political battle against corruption, favouritism and poor governance.

"I have chosen a longer but a more straight road to achieve my objectives," Faesal said.
