Ranchi, Nov.26: Civil services aspirants are not convinced with the clarification of the recruitment body, Jharkhand Public Service Commission (JPSC), which was uploaded on its website on Thursday evening. They continued their agitation against the alleged irregularities in the preliminary test (PT) of 7th to 10th JPSC examination organised this year in September.
They are planning to bring the matter before the Jharkhand high court and produce all the evidence there for proper probe in the matter. They are of the opinion that if the JPSC is not prevented from organising the main examination, there will be serious implications in future.
“JPSC admits doubt in the matter of qualifying candidates serially from a particular class room at a particular centre in Sahibganj and Lohardaga but is not inclined to cancel the test. It suggests that it is in injustice mode. If PT is organised after investigation, it would pave the path of others deserving to qualify PT and open their gate for main examination,” said Safique Imam, co-ordinator of Jharkhand Youth Association (JYA).
Another civil service aspirant Anuj Shankar supported Imam. “JPSC denies the fact that the paper leaked two hours before the examination, saying if it had happened so it would have been highlighted in the newspapers and other media. This thought is wrong. It should investigate the allegation in places of showing dependence on media reports on such matters,” Shankar said.
“Such practice will be continuing till the recruitment body is made free from political interference. At present wife of JMM general secretary and a congress leader in JPSC,” Shankar added.
A teacher who prepares candidates for JPSC examination, Vijay Singh, supported Shankar and Imam saying JPSC is playing mind games by saying that it will neither cancel PT nor postpone mains examination.
“It is a matter of concern that unlike previous occasions when mains examination and interview used to come under scanner, in the given situation the PT is under scanner. JPSC is playing victim by saying the number of centres were as much as 1100 in remote villages and blocks. In this regard I would like to say that JPSC should have not organised an examination if it was not prepared for the same,” Vijay said.
