My Letters in Dawn Newspaper

Darkness after a long struggle

SINCE the revival of democracy after the dictatorial rule, the real image of merit has been tarnished. Jobs are being given on the basis of political affiliations or seats are being divided among coalition partners in the name of consensus policy.
Did we come on the streets for this democracy? Those who are unable to write a simple letter or application have been given high cadre jobs in various government departments and development authorities.
Is this not the greatest cause of bad governance? We, the Pakistani people, are really emotional. Despite witnessing history, we go on making blunders by voting for those who forget their voters after occupying key posts and ministries.
If Pakistani people want to work for the betterment of good governance and stability of this country, they must think a thousand times before casting a vote to any political party or the day is not far when we will be having a civil war.

Waiting for MA results

SHAH Abdul Latif University conducted MA final (private) examinations for various disciplines on Feb 20. Over five months have passed but so far the result has not been announced. Needless to mention, this time the university had conducted MA final examinations after a delay of six months.
Either it is inefficiency of the university administration or it does not have enough staff to assess thousands of students. The university earns millions of rupees every year through examining the candidates.
This lackadaisical approach, coupled with a delay in assessment, prevents students from acquiring further education, apart from being a hurdle in getting jobs.
The chancellor and the vice-chancellor are requested to ask the authorities concerned to announce results as early as possible.

Plea to hold mukhtiarkar exams

THE Sindh Public Service Commission`s department of recruiting officers on the basis of merit in different departments has been allegedly politicised.

Through these columns I would like to remind senior officials of the revenue department that the mukhtiarkar examinations have not been conducted for many years though 100 seats are lying vacant.

Owing to political influence, these seats have remained vacant. Forms have been filled thrice but the date and the venue have never been announced.

Moreover, according to the SPSC officials, about 5,000 forms have been filled for this post. Therefore, senior officials of the department concerned should pay heed to this issue and fill the seats on merit.
