New Delhi: As the government held marathon meetings on Sunday to find a solution to the row over Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Civil Service Aptitude Test, BJP leaders JP Nadda, Ram Madhav and Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh met party President Amit Shah at Gujarat Bhawan in the national capital to discuss the issue.
Sources suggested that the government will take a final call only after Prime Minister Narendra Modi returns from his two-day visit to Nepal on Tuesday. Sources added that the party and government are working together to find a solution to the issue.
Singh said, "Since Parliament is in session, I cannot comment on it outside the House. Once the decision is taken we will let you know. We're working on it."
Taking a call on the UPSC row, Home Minister Rajnath Singh held a meeting on Sunday to deliberate over the issue and think of a solution.
Minister of State, Jitender Singh and BJP leader JP Nadda were also present.
"As I have said that our party and the government is trying to resolve the UPSC issue. It might take some time but we are working on it. We are trying to resolve it", said Nadda after speaking to Rajnath Singh over the issue.
Civil services aspirants are calling for the scrapping of the CSAT which they feel is biased towards technical and managerial students and put aspirants from Hindi belt and humanities background at a disadvantage.
The Arvind Verma Committee report has argued that the CSAT is a scientifically formed exam and shouldn't be tinkered with, the sources added.
The committee, however, has recommended that the quality of English to Hindi translation in CSAT paper should be improved. There are 20 marks of English comprehension which are of class 10th level and sources say that future civil servants are expected to have that level of knowledge.
