BCS candidates threaten self immolation
The 27th BCS test candidates, who have been on a hunger strike protesting their exclusion from the revised results, threatened that they would go for self immolation Friday unless the authorities revoke the decision.

More protesters, who were joined by their guardians in the hunger strike since Saturday at the central Shahid Minar, fell sick and were rushed to the nearby Dhaka Medical College Hospital.

Some teachers of Dhaka University Thursday expressed solidarity with the candidates, who claimed that they were declared qualified as per the January 2007 results of the 27th BCS test, but their names were dropped in the second results, published in September 2008, of the same test. They felt that the Public Service Commission should review its decision and see that none of the qualified candidates was deprived of government job. They said it was a contradictory decision which was not expected from the lone recruiting body for public service.
