• Haryana Youth Denied Their Rights in HPSC English Assistant Professor Recruitment - Hooda
Chandigarh, December 7: Former Chief Minister and Leader of the Opposition Bhupinder Singh Hooda said the anti-Haryana face of the BJP has been exposed once again in the Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) recruitment as less than 8% of Haryana youth were selected in the exam.
“The recruitment for English Assistant Professors (College Cadre) has completely unmasked this government's anti-Haryana stance. The government, which consistently prioritizes candidates from other states in recruitments, this time didn't even select 8 percent of candidates from Haryana,” he said.
“Our question is, did the government not find any qualified candidates for this post in the entire state of Haryana? This question has been continuously raised by the Congress, from the streets to the Legislative Assembly, but the BJP has not been able to answer it till date. In this recruitment, 4,424 candidates applied, out of which 1,950 appeared for the final written examination, but only 35% qualifying marks were given, seemingly as part of a conspiracy. Only 151 candidates were declared successful,” he stated.
“Even UGC-NET/JRF qualified and PhD holders failed to clear the exam. Most surprisingly, the percentage of Haryana residents among the selected candidates is around 8%. Therefore, every young person is hurt by the question: don't young women and men from Haryana have a right to jobs in their own state,” he questioned.
Hooda said that by conducting such recruitments, the BJP is also eliminating reservations in jobs as there were 60 seats for BC-A candidates, but only 6 were selected. Similarly, 36 seats were reserved for BC-B, but only 3 were selected. There were also 60 seats for EWS, but only 6 people were selected.
The Haryana Leader of the Opposition said this is not just the story of one recruitment, but has been a part of a broader trend. Before this, the BJP government has played this game in recruitments ranging from SDOs in the power department to Assistant Professors in other subjects and HCS officers. Either fewer people than the number of vacancies are deliberately passed, or people from other states are recruited for most of the positions.
To achieve this, he said, sometimes a paper leak is orchestrated, sometimes the papers are made excessively difficult, sometimes there is manipulation in the marking, and sometimes the rules are tampered with.
Recently, candidates submitted a memorandum to Hooda, making serious revelations about the recruitment process. They exposed serious irregularities in the Assistant Professor recruitment exam conducted by the HPSC (Haryana Public Service Commission). Serious discrepancies were also found in the papers for subjects like History, Hindi, Zoology, Chemistry, and Physics. Consequently, the candidates formally submitted written complaints to the commission and demanded the cancellation of these exams.
“The biggest irregularity in these exams was that in several places, candidates were given question papers with broken seals. The broken seals raised suspicions of a paper leak. In such a situation, it was essential for the government to accept the candidates' demands and conduct a high-level inquiry, but the government seemed to be avoiding it. This clearly indicates that the government itself is the source of all the irregularities and scams,” he said.
“The candidates also alleged that 24 questions in the History paper were copied verbatim from a question paper of the Assistant Professor recruitment exam conducted by the Chhattisgarh Public Service Commission. The HPSC did not even bother to change a single word, the language, or the context of these questions. In addition, several questions were copied verbatim from a question paper available on the websites of various online institutions,” he added.
Hooda demanded that all the recruitment processes marred by irregularities should be canceled, and the exams should be conducted again, considering the demands of the candidates. He also emphasized that it must be ensured that positions meant for the people of Haryana are not given to people from other states.
