Dear Friends,
Under fire from the opposition on the UPSC row, government on Wednesday decided to convene an all-party meeting on the issue while indicating its unwillingness to postpone the civil services preliminary examination scheduled for August 24.
The matter, which has disrupted parliamentary proceedings during
the past week, rocked the Rajya Sabha again on Wednesday with members from CPM, CPI, SP and BSP staging a walkout expressing dissatisfaction over minister of state for parliamentary affairs Prakash Javadekar's statement on the issue.
Maintaining that it was a sensitive issue, which has many aspects, the minister said a discussion is needed to determine on whether a major reform of the examination pattern of the UPSC is required.
