"Congratulations Tina Dabi and Athar Amir-ul-Shafi, IAS toppers, batch of 2015, on your wedding! May your love grow from strength to strength and may you be an inspiration to all Indians in this age of growing intolerance and communal hatred. God bless you," he tweeted.
IAS officer Tina Dabi, who topped the UPSC's civil services examination in 2015 tied the knot with her Kashmiri batchmate Athar Amir-ul-Shafi Khan, who secured the second rank in the prestigious examination the same year.

Hailing from Delhi, Dabi, a graduate from the Lady Shri Ram college, became the first-ever Dalit girl to top the UPSC exam. Khan hails from Devipora village in Mattan area of Anantnag.
