The PMK Thursday said several recommendations for civil services found in the NITI Aayog's 'national strategy for new India' were against social justice and autonomy of states.
Opposing recommendations like lowering the upper age limit for general category to 27 from 32 and rationalisation of separate state and central services, PMK leader Anbumani Ramadoss said, "these are not only against social justice..
...but also poses danger to the basic features of Indian democracy including autonomy of States."
If the age-limit was lowered, a general category aspirant who had done medicine would be able to appear for the civil services exam only twice considering the preparatory period of about two years, he said adding "this will be social injustice."
