Congress leader slams Haryana govt over CET restriction in police hiring

Haryana Youth Congress President, Divyanshu Budhiraja, has once again brought the Haryana government under scrutiny for allegedly neglecting the interests of the youth. The government recently issued a notification for the recruitment of 6000 police constables, stipulating that only Common Eligibility Test (CET) qualified students can apply. However, concerns have been raised by Budhiraja regarding the limitation, given that the last CET exam took place in November 2022.

Expressing his discontent, Budhiraja emphasized the need for inclusivity, advocating for a provision that allows students who passed the 12th examination in 2023, and those who missed the previous CET exam, to apply for this recruitment. He stressed that the delayed release of recruitments has already put students who completed their 12th examination in 2023 at a disadvantage, urging the government to consider their circumstances.
Budhiraja further asserted that students who took the CET in 2022 and those who were unable to pass the exam should be granted another opportunity. He criticized the government for not fulfilling its promise of conducting CET exams twice a year, leaving the youth to bear the consequences of unkept assurances.

The call for an amendment to the recruitment criteria stems from the perceived failure of the government to provide multiple opportunities for CET exams, as previously pledged. Budhiraja contends that the government, by not conducting the promised examinations, is depriving the youth of crucial opportunities, making it a moral responsibility to rectify the situation and give deserving students a fair chance.
