Sudden Postponement of BPSC Tehsildar Interviews Is Playing with Youths’ Futures: Rahib Khan Buleedi
QUETTA: Former Vice Chairman of the Balochistan Bar Council and current member of the council, Rahib Khan Buleedi Advocate, has strongly condemned the sudden postponement of interviews for Tehsildar posts by the Balochistan Public Service Commission (BPSC), calling it an injustice to aspiring candidates.
In a statement, Buleedi said the BPSC was an autonomous institution, but continued political interference had raised serious questions about transparency and merit-based appointments.
He said the vacancies for Tehsildars had been advertised in 2022, while the written examinations were conducted in 2024. After a prolonged delay of four years, the interview process finally began in August 2026 but was suddenly postponed.
“Keeping candidates waiting for four years for a single post is nothing less than playing with their future,” he said.
Buleedi said Balochistan was currently facing a severe unemployment crisis. He alleged that corruption, nepotism and illegal appointments in government institutions were widespread, making the Public Service Commission the last hope for many unemployed young people.
He said political interference in the commission was causing frustration and disappointment among thousands of talented candidates.
Buleedi also criticized a letter reportedly sent by the Secretary of the Health Department to the Balochistan chief minister regarding the recruitment of individuals holding local or domicile certificates from other provinces in the provincial health department.
He termed the move an infringement of the rights of local youth, pointing out that hundreds of unemployed doctors, medical technicians and diploma holders were already present in Balochistan.
Regarding appointments in universities, he said that following the 18th Constitutional Amendment, provinces generally provided employment in their universities to individuals holding local domiciles. He alleged that people holding domiciles of Sindh, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were nevertheless being indirectly recruited in various universities in Balochistan.
Buleedi demanded the immediate resumption of the postponed Tehsildar interviews and called for transparent, merit-based appointments for unemployed youth in Balochistan.
He also demanded an immediate end to all forms of political interference in the BPSC and called for action against what he described as illegal appointments of individuals from other provinces in the Health Department and universities.
He urged the authorities to protect the rights of eligible local youth and ensure that they receive their due opportunities on merit.
