Medical admission test

It is known that the scapegrace will never listen to moral lectures. If proper justice is ensured and all possible loopholes are sealed, the members of society would not have thought of it. But unfortunately so far as it is known, nobody dared to take proper actions against the unscrupulous vicious circles existing in the safe zone except little eyewash. We all know what happened to the Medical Admission Test last year 2006. Both the failed and the winning candidates (I refrain from saying successful as there was a game of money) had to go to the Supreme Court of the country with pleas to reject the examination and, on the other hand, to reject the appeal of the failed candidates. Subsequent to the race, the winners got themselves admitted into different medical colleges. The unsuccessful candidates with their mental agony, tried elsewhere or waited for another chance killing valuable one-year time with a hope to find a place in the race of test examination of their choice. Obviously, it is the Public Medical Colleges in the country. We do not know if their aspiration will be fulfilled, because the men behind the curtains remain at the same place. Therefore, we are apprehending if those unscrupulous people in the Directorate of Health under the Ministry of Health & Public Welfare, responsible for last years' malpractice depriving thousands of meritorious, genuine students of their legitimate right are still active. May I fervently appeal to the Adviser in-charge and the honest, dignified and dedicated high officials of the ministry and the department as well, to look into the matter very seriously.
