KHAIRPUR April 29 Berozgar Nojawan Tehrik activists have said that the tests conducted for the posts of primary, junior and high school teachers were a drama, and expressed the apprehension that the jobs will be provided only on the recommendation of ministers and leaders of the ruling party.

Talking to journalists, Tehrik activists Saeed Khaskheli, Ayaz Shaikh and Waseem Soomro demanded a monthly stipend of Rs10,000 for unemployed youth.

They said that many of the candidates were arrested and injured in police action after cancellation of the tests for the posts of junior school teacher.

They said that jobs on the basis of merit had turned to be a hollow slogan of the government and alleged that ministers had already been allotted quota of the jobs.
