THIS is apropos the news item ‘Senators want increase in age-limit for CSS exam candidates’ (May15). The reason for such action was that aspirants from backward areas are not able to compete with candidates from urban areas. Therefore, the age-limit for CSS examinations should be enhanced to 35 years.
I want to ask the senators, who is responsible for the backwardness of those areas? Aren’t they representing them? Isn’t it better to develop and bring them on par with urban areas?
Instead of enhancing the age-limit for CSS examinations, it is better to work for the development and prosperity of backward areas.

Senators want to bring their over aged graduate wives and daughter in laws into the CSS camp, and then it is easy for them to cash them. Try to understand my friend. I saw this game in Sindh Education department, The wife of a PA to former Education minister dragged her wife from kitchen where she was preparing roti, got a MA degree overnight from Jamshoro, and posted her in 19 grade and also taught her how to sign in English. Senators demand for higher age has more logic than reason

we must say a big no to this age increase for CSS candidates. The policy is being changed to accommodate their older relatives. If this happens it will ruin the chances of younger persons.
The competition must be fair, free and transparent at all cost. Save the Civil Service from going down. We should not follow the dictates of these misguided and indifferent Senators.
