NEW DELHI: Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday attacked the Modi Government on attempts to overhaul the UPSC structure.
In a post on social media, Rahul, accusing the Government of tampering with the UPSC structure in order to appoint officers of the choice of RSS in Central Services, also urged the students’ community to ‘rise’ as their future was at ‘risk’.
On his twitter handle, he shared a letter from the government where it said that it intends to examine “if service allocation/cadre allocation to probationers selected on the basis of Civil Services Examination be made after Foundation Course”.
”Rise up students, your future is at risk! RSS wants what’s rightfully yours. The letter below reveals the PM’s plan to appoint officers of RSS’s choice into the Central Services, by manipulating the merit list using subjective criteria, instead of exam rankings,”Rahul said in a tweet.
At present, service allocation to the candidates selected on the basis of Civil Services examination is made well before the commencement of the foundation course.
The duration of foundation course for officers of almost all the services is three months.
As per the letter, the PMO had desired to examine if service allocation/cadre allocation to probationers selected on the basis of the examination can be made after foundation course, as per the communication sent by the Personnel Ministry to different cadre-controlling authorities. (AGENCIES)
