YC urges Kerala Governor not to approve State govt. nominee as PSC member
Allegations of corruption against a PSC nominee raise concerns about institutional integrity.
O. J. Janeesh, president of the Youth Congress, has called on Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar to reject the appointment of I. Shihabuddeen to the Kerala Public Service Commission (PSC) due to corruption allegations against him. Mr. Janeesh claims that Mr. Shihabuddeen is accused of accepting bribes from boat owners and that this decision undermines the PSC's credibility, especially given the government's awareness of these accusations. The Youth Congress has also criticized the government's decision to raise the upper age limit for PSC examinations.
