CHITRAL, Feb 18: A woman from upper Chitral has alleged that she was deprived of her right to employment even after scoring highest marks in the NTS test held for the vacant post of monitoring and data collection assistant in the KPK education department. Talking to this correspondent here, Shazia Bibi, daughter of Liaquat Ali Shah of Laspur valley said that in October 2013 the post was advertised for which the qualification was set as BA/BSc. She said after she submitted her application she was called for the NTS test in which she topped in the whole district of Chitral with 79 marks. Later, she was called for the interview. She said to appear in the test and later in the interview she had to travel to Peshawar along with her brother spending thousands of rupees on travel and lodging expenses. She said that she obtained 79 out of 100 marks in the NTS test but the post was given to another candidate who had scored just 64 marks. Ms Shazia said she was denied the post on the pretext that she had passed the SSC exam in third division. However, Ms Shazia claimed that she had passed the matric exam in second division and her documents can be checked for it by anyone. Then she was also told that the department preferred candidates holding MSc degrees. However, she said that in the advertisement, there was no mention of preference for the candidates holding MSc degrees. She appealed to the PTI government and the chairman of the party, Imran Khan, to look into the case otherwise she would be compelled to approach the court to seek justice.–GH Farooqui ]]>
