The unsuccessful candidates of the 27th BCS examination Thursday formed a human chain in the Dhaka University (DU) campus demanding immediate removal of the PSC chairman, raising questions on the legality of the second phase results of the examination.
They also placed a demand to carry out a judicial investigation into the 'irregularity' in publishing the results of the 27th BCS examination conducted by PSC Chairman Saadat Hussain.
At least one hundred candidates joined the human chain at the foot of Aparajeyo Bangla sculpture of the university at noon.
Candidates from the programme demanded cancellation of the new results of the exam, immediate steps to make the PSC free from the grasp of personal and group based influences and appointment of honest, efficient, competent persons there.
The disgruntled candidates alleged that Saadat Hussain was using the PSC as a project centre of the ADB and World Bank instead of preserving the interests of meritorious students of the country. They demanded immediate halt of all projects between the PSC and World Bank and ADB.
Mahfuzur Rahman, an unsuccessful candidate of the 27th BCS exam who obtained first division both in honours and masters examinations in Social Welfare of DU, said that they would hold a press conference at the city's National Press Club with the children of freedom fighters who were deprived in the exams to press home their demands.
