Sir: While having lunch, my younger brother said: “Only you would lose marks by deliberately opting for wrong answers; it would have no impact on the commission’s health.” This is the second time in a consecutive examination conducted by the Federal Public Service Commission for general recruitments that the commission put controversial questions in the Islamic Studies section. For instance, questions like who is called Saifullah, how many daughters did Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) have, and so on. These questions have diverse answers by different schools of thought within the Islamic Ummah. The commission, while preparing questions, especially for Islamic Studies, must consider the diversity and pluralism in Pakistan and must have an inclusive approach to judge candidates appearing for various posts. In the last two tests, there were many controversial questions but I went for the answers according to my belief and my school of thought, although I was fully conscious and cognizant of the consequence that my answers would not be entertained and I might fail in the competition. But for me, it was a matter of faith and not of a post or job and I did what my inner self asked me to do. The commission needs to pay attention towards this specific issue to address the grievances of the candidates. Second, more common questions must be asked both in subjective and objective examinations as there are slight differences among various schools of thought. Last but not least, even a single mark can upset the result in such an examination and the commission must not benefit one group at the cost of the other.ALI QANBARGilgit
