Chandigarh, January 7 — The Haryana Public Service Commission (HPSC) on Wednesday dismissed allegations being circulated against its functioning, calling them false, misleading, and without any factual basis. An official spokesperson of the commission said a deliberate attempt is being made in recent days to create a distorted narrative about the commission’s working.
The spokesperson clarified that the Haryana Public Service Commission has been constituted under Article 315 of the Constitution of India and is entrusted with the constitutional responsibility of conducting examinations and selections for appointments to state services. He said all recruitments carried out by the commission have successfully stood the test of judicial scrutiny, which itself reflects the transparency and fairness of the selection process adopted by HPSC.
The commission, he said, examines all representations, complaints, and suggestions received in a proper and time-bound manner and takes necessary action wherever required. He added that complete information related to the recruitment and selection process is placed in the public domain to ensure transparency and accountability.
Refuting comments being circulated regarding the quality of education and the role of the commission’s chairperson, the spokesperson said such statements are completely false, baseless, and misleading. He asserted that these claims are being spread by vested interests with the sole intention of tarnishing the image of the commission.
The spokesperson further stated that HPSC holds the academic community in the highest regard and that the active participation of subject experts and academicians is essential for conducting large-scale and impartial recruitment processes. Without their cooperation, such transparent and merit-based selections would not be possible, he added.
Reiterating its commitment to merit, the commission said that all recruitments have been carried out strictly on merit. If any individual has doubts or objections regarding the commission or its processes, they may submit a formal representation to the Secretary of the commission. This, the spokesperson said, would help clarify facts and prevent people from being misled by false narratives aimed at disrupting the selection process.
