Greetings and best wishes.
I would like to convey that during your team’s presence in Turbat, the heat was incredibly intense, reaching around 50 degrees. The price of ice in the market skyrocketed to over 200 per kilo. The scorching heat of the sun was not only tormenting our minds, but its intense brightness also dazzled our eyes.
A crowd of young people had gathered in front of the gate of B.R.C College. Do you know why? It was for the purpose of employment.
Respected Madam,
I would like to bring to your attention the immense suffering that the helpless and vulnerable members of our society are facing due to inflation, unemployment, and the electricity and gas crises. These circumstances have made life very difficult for them, and if effective remedies are not implemented, their plight will only worsen.
Unemployment is one of the most pressing issues in our society, as it gives rise to a multitude of other problems.
Job advertisements are often published in newspapers, but by the time they are printed, the vacancies have already been filled. The written exams and interview stages for these positions cause frustration and humiliation, and highly educated individuals often face disappointment when searching for employment, whether in government offices or private companies.
They gaze longingly at their hard-earned degrees, which were obtained through hard work, financial investment, and other means. Unfortunately, the current circumstances make it difficult for them to sustain themselves.
Only they truly understand the challenges they face: balancing their own aspirations, the expectations of their families, and the societal pressures that prevent them from finding peace.
How long can a young person rely on their parents’ income? When will their dream of financial independence come true? When will they bring joy to their parents through their own earnings?
These questions plague the lives of today’s youth, making their situation worse than ever before. It is evident that youth unemployment, particularly among the educated, renders the educational programs designed to benefit the country futile.
Recently, more than ten thousand educated youths applied for a few teaching positions in Turbat, highlighting the severity of unemployment in the region.
The government must recognize the despair experienced by our highly educated, unemployed youth. It is a concerning thought.
Respected Madam,
I assume that you also use Facebook and WhatsApp. It has come to my attention that images of answer sheets from examination halls are continuously being shared across various divisions and districts, and even videos have been made.
This raises the question: who allowed the examinees to bring mobile phones into the examination halls?
News circulating on social media alleges the presence of impersonators replacing genuine candidates, while brokers manipulate the system. Many candidates either left their answer sheets blank or only answered the questions they knew. The arrangement made by influential individuals suggests that they were provided with answer keys in advance.
Are these reports mere allegations or are they true?
If they are indeed accurate, it indicates that corruption has tainted the examination process.
In such circumstances, it becomes pointless to expect young individuals to channel their abilities into productive endeavors, as everything appears to be illusory.
In my opinion, investing time and energy in such examinations is a waste, as the facade of meritocracy has been exposed.
And, Madam, yesterday I heard a shopkeeper in the market telling a customer that his daughter had been confirmed for a job as he has bribed the authorities with 1.5 million rupees. The customer mentioned being a close friend of the minister’s private secretary, who had promised to get a copy of the test and take care of the rest of the work personally.
I can’t believe what I’m hearing! It seems like everyone is exposed to such conversations.
Should we still have hope, Dr. Sajida Naureen?
Your team’s actions are playing with the future of thousands of families. Please remember that without merit, neither can the law be effectively enforced nor can corruption and injustice be eradicated.
As a concerned individual, I humbly request you to expose the answer booklets of those candidates who have not filled them honestly or have left several booklets blank in front of the media. The recommended individuals should be blacklisted.
Let us not allow the dreams of brokers to be seen as a matter of shame. Provide deserving individuals with an opportunity so that they do not end up seeking justice through courts or resorting to protests and sit-ins. This will help prevent chaos and the rise of voices seeking retribution.
By doing so, the deserving candidates can exercise their rights. As a professor and head of an educational institute, I hope you will discourage any actions that deprive candidates of their rightful opportunities.
Is this possible? Do you have the authority, or am I simply expressing my thoughts in vain?
There is much more to say, but I currently have guests at home and must attend to their needs in the market. I can only offer my prayers that justice be done and merit be respected.
I hope merit is the sole and exclusive priority in finding the builders of the nation.
Thank You!
Shahzaib Arz Baluch
