Wajahat Habibullah is new minority body chief

New Delhi, Feb 3 : The country's first Chief Information Commissioner Wajahat Habibullah took over as the new chairman of the National Commission for Minorities here.

He fills a vacancy caused by the expiry of Mohammad Shafi Qureshi's term in September last year.

A former Jammu and Kashmir cadre IAS officer, Mr Habibullah had served as Chief Information Commissioner under the Right to Information Act.

Mr Habibullah,66, will hold the office for a period of three years from today.

Mr Habibullah, who retired as the CIC in September last year, is also now on the World Bank's first 3-member appeals board set up for public scrutiny of its dealings, with a 2-year stint.

He held a meeting of the commission after taking over and also met the senior officers of the NCM.

Delhi-based English language poet and author Keki N Daruwala (73), a retired 1958 batch IPS officer, becomes a member of the NCM.

The Commission, a statutory body for safeguarding constitutional and legal rights of minorities, has now the full bench of the chairman, vice-chairman and five other members.

Mizoram-based Dr H T Sengliana (67), a former MP and retired IPS officer, is the vice-chairman.

Other members are: Former Congress MP from Punjab H S Hanspal (72), Ladakh Hill Council member Spaizes Angmo, Mumbai-based author Syeda Bilgrami Imam, an award-winning advertising professional, and Vinod Sharma, a journalist of Hindustan Times.
