IT was former president Pervez Musharraf who reduced the upper age limit for CSS examinations from 30 years to 28 years on the plea that only young people should appear in CSS examinations.
What an irony! Candidates remained young ,according to his vision, till only 28 years . By reducing the age limit to 28 years, he not only deprived many, many candidates, with the lower middle class background, of an opportunity to compete in the examinations but also knocked out democratic rights of the people by implementing his self-made policies.
I would like the prime minister, as well as the Chairman of the FPSC, to review age relaxation policy of the CSS and extend it to 30 to32 years because there are thousands of candidates who have been affected by the policy.
