The back door appointments in government jobs has become burning issue. Obtaining a government job by paying bribes and using political clout is thought to be ubiquitous. It has seen highest number of recruitment scams. The govt jobs is like a profitable business in addition to regular salary and an govt servant never wants to miss the opportunity. The recent allegations made by Fatorda MLA Vijai Sardesai on LDC recruitment came under a dark cloud with allegations from various quarters of massive irregularities, demands of cash, and bypassing of established procedural norms. There are undeserving candidates provided jobs through back door in the past, saying that government jobs are only being given to deserving candidates. The back door entry in public services violates the fundamental rights of those aspiring for public employment. The government should stop back door appointments in public services in order to ensure that equal opportunity is provided to all eligible candidates through an open, competitive process. When the entire selection is stinking, conceived in fraud and delivered in deceit, individual innocence has no place and the entire selection has to be cancelled.
