Lahore – Senior advisor to chief minister Sardar Zulfiqar Khosa assured the office bearers of the Punjab PCS Officers Association on Tuesday that all their demands accepted by the government will be ‘honoured’, Pakistan Today has learnt.
The decision was taken after a meeting of a delegation of PCS Officers Association with the chief minister’s cabinet committee consisting of Zulfiqar Khosa, Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, Additional Chief Secretary Sami Saeed, Secretary Services Sikander Sultan Raja and the law secretary.
Khosa, who was heading the committee, assured the delegation that the CM will write to the federal government to abolish the ‘notorious’ 1993 sharing formula introduced by former prime minister Moeen Qureshi. He further assured that the CM will ask the prime minister to allow National Institute of Public Administration (NIPA) training for 40 PCS officers as a special case.
A committee consisting of the ACS, the secretary services, secretary regulation and PCS Officers Association President Rai Manzur Nasir and his two nominees will sit together for resolving all issues. Nasir said the government had agreed to resolve the issue in July 2010 and July 31 was set the deadline to resolve all outstanding and agreed upon issues.
However, he said after a lapse of six months, the government has implemented only one out of 12 demands agreed by the government. He said the PCS officers have been trying to meet the CM through his secretary, who is again a DMG officer, but in vain. He said the governance will be affected ‘severely’ if the entire provincial management service officers remain ‘disturbed’.
In the wake of coming elections the disgruntled pcs clan may severly damage PML N .The CM should listen to them to agree or not to agree, is his prerogative.

PCS officers demands are all illegitimate. DMG forms the part of All Pakistan Civil Service and they are inducted into the service through securing the top most positions in Central Superior Services Examination, a far more prestigious examination than So called provincial service examination. The distinction between DMG and PCS/PMS is based on the higher competency level of DMG. Article 240 of constitution safeguards the rights of DMG and PSP.
Please tell me how can a mediocre official of PMS can be given better posts than a DMG officer think ? Also, more than 600 of PMS Officers are promoted from patwaris and stenographers. Its a shame if we compare PATWARIS with DMG officers.
Punjab government is doing the right thing. May Allah bless Shehbaz Sharif. Ameen !
PCS has become a virtual ‘Patwari Criminal Service’ with no agenda of public- welfare or how to eliminate corruption in civil secretariat. Every PCS wants to go to BOR where corruption is rampant. May Allah save us from their impassive Section Officers who only know the art of finding negative objections in your files and then these files are delayed for years for extorting some money. Did PCS ever produce any officer the stature of Salman Siddique? People cannot support them as they are our enemies and its war of interests between PCS and DMG.
