New Delhi, 31 Dec : Senior IAS officer Umrao Salodiya has accepted Islam alleging that he was being victimised at the hands of Rajasthan state government. At the same time, he also applied for Voluntary Retirement from Service (VRS) in protest against the extension of tenure awarded to Chief Secretary CS Rajan.
Mr Umrao is currently the Chairman of RSRTC and Additional Chief Secretary in Rajasthan state Government.
Talking to media persons he told that, it is up to the state government now to take a decision on his VRS cum protest letter within three months. However my retirement is due June 2016.
He further told that since he is a Hindu and belongs to schedule cast so he was always victimised.
He converted to iskam by reading “Kalma” in a masjid.
“From now on I will be called as Umrao Khan,” the ex IAS officer said.
On being asked whether he has any plan for remarriage with any Muslim girl, he replied in negative and told that he is satisfied with his family and he protested against victimisation.
“Since there is no csst system in Islam so he preferred it” added Salodiya .
May Allah accept his Shahada and make it good for his life in the world and the hereafter. ameen
While its true that the Islamic concept of human equality, dignity is unmatchable; no other religion or secularism or any other way of life is perfect as Islam. However, I would like to bring to your kind notice that, islam should be accepted to please Allah alone. Accepting Islam for a protest may not be fruitful at all.
