Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday assured the protesting Civil Services aspirants that the issues raised by them would be resolved within a week.
Mr. Singh told presspersons here that discussions were under way. As directed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Home Minister on Sunday held a high-level meeting with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Jitendra Singh to explore possible solutions.
The government is still awaiting the recommendation of a three-member committee set up to review the Civil Services Aptitude Test (CSAT) pattern which has been faulted by the agitating students on the grounds of alleged discrimination, primarily against students from a regional language and Humanities background. Meanwhile, the protests against the introduction of CSAT and the resulting “discrimination” against those coming from Hindi and rural backgrounds continued on Monday
