Goa Governor PS Sreedharan Pillai has said government appointments should be free from political interference. As far as the elected govt is concerned, it has its role. But all govt appointments should be free from political interference he said. Governor said while inaugurating the third floor premises of the Goa Public Service Commission on Monday.
The Goa Public Service Commission is appointed by government but is not committed to the govt, Governor said, implying that the GPSC should make appointments irrespective of govt directives. The appointments should be based on merit and no person, whatever position he may hold should interfere in appointments.
