ISLAMABAD - CSS aspirants in Pakistan have a good news as the upper legislative chamber of Pakistan, Senate has recently passed a resolution that seeks to allow Central Superior Services (CSS) aspirants to take Urdu as an optional language to prepare the country’s premier services exams.
However Senate resolution about Urdu as a medium of exam for CSS has no legal effect at this time as no Bill has been passed in the Senate.
Sirajul Haq, the Chief of Pakistan’s socially conservative and Islamist political party Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), moved the resolution in the upper house of Parliament, demanding that the CSS exams must be taken in Urdu.
He also remarked that countries like China, Japan, and South Korea have embraced development on a global scale because they use their own national language in competitive services exams. *“We can also progress by holding the CSS exams in Urdu,”* he argued.
Sirajul Haq said that due to the current language barrier only five percent of candidates could pass compulsory subjects of Pakistan’s superior services and competitive examination body.
