Today in the news international newspaper my plea to the government is again published, kindly check out today's newspaper of the News international,

PESHAWAR: The overage aspirants of the Central Superior Services (CSS) examination will stage protest outside the Parliament House during its upcoming session to press the government for their demand for an increase in the upper age limit for competitive examination. Rules bar any individual above the age of 28 years from sitting in the competitive examination. The aspirants, who have become overage, are seeking an increase in the upper age limit from 28 years to 30 years.

They have been raising their voice on several forums to convince the government to relax the age limit, but to no avail. They are now preparing to stage protest outside the Parliament House in Islamabad in an effort to plead the case with the lawmakers. “I couldn’t get through the CSS examination 2013 and now this age limit is preventing me from taking the exam,” Mushtaq Ahmad said. He said many candidates would be unable to take the CSS examination in 2014.

Shaukat Ali, Haseen Hamas and Mushtaq Ahmad said that an increase in the upper age limit would enable them to sit in the examination.

They argued the 28-year age limit was unrealistic in Pakistan as many of its areas were underdeveloped and impoverished. “In several regions in Balochistan, Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, people are poor and parents cannot afford to pay for their children’s education,” Mushtaq Ahmad said. “Students take up jobs to pay for the expenses of education, which wastes their time,” he argued.

He said the age limit was discriminatory as government officials were given two-year relaxation, but the same was denied to them. He contended that other countries in the region allowed candidates up to 35 years of age to take the competitive examination though literacy rate there was far better than Pakistan.
