UP Government Bars Candidates Involved in Violent Regime-Change Activities From Government Jobs
The new rules let authorities bar applicants linked to violent efforts to change the social order, while FIRs or pending probes alone will not disqualify them.
- The Uttar Pradesh government tightened character verification rules for direct recruitment to government jobs, potentially barring applicants associated with calls for a "violent regime change" from public employment.
- Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led government's decision follows his warning of an alleged conspiracy to trigger a "regime change" in India, referencing recent developments in Bangladesh.
- Authorities now require police to submit verification reports within 30 days, clarifying that a pending First Information Report or political ideology alone will not automatically disqualify candidates.
- The Samajwadi Party and Congress criticized the directive, with spokesperson Udayveer comparing the measures to British rule and arguing they intimidate peaceful political participation.
- Existing government employees are exempt from fresh verification checks, which apply only to new direct recruitment and consider activities within three years if the individual was above 21.
