It came to the notice of the TS government that there is no officer from the Muslim community born in Telangana among directly recruited AIS officers allotted to the state.
Among Syed Ali Murtaza Rizvi, A.K. Khan and Ahmed Nadeem, who hail from the North India, A.K. Khan is from Rayalaseema whereas Tafseer Iqbal and Shahnawaz Qasim are from other states.
Mohammed Abdul Azeem, IAS, Syed Omar Jaleel and M.J. Akbar, IFS hail from Telangana and were allocated to the state under the promotee officers’ quota.
As per the sources, Chief Minister K.C. Rao was surprised when it is brought to his notice and gave orders to the officers to prepare a plan to pick local brilliant minds from the minority community and train them to crack the UPSC, so that Telangana may get directly recruited officers from the minority in general and especially among Muslims in the coming years.
