    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir. I support this amendment. However, I am concerned about the long period of experience of 10 years. It is an act of exclusion when we put long periods of experience. That is excluding the youth. We want the youth to come up in leadership. There is no youth with 10 years of experience. We will be giving these jobs to people of our age. This period of 10 years has been there in our laws and statutes for too long. It is time we considered reducing this. When you advertise and state ‘10 years’, young people look at it and say it is not for them but for people who have worked and are almost retiring. Mr. Temporary Chairperson, Sir, it takes a long time for people to acquire these qualifications. By the time they are qualified, they are 35 years old and soon to be specialists. If they have those 10 years, they will be almost 50 years. I do not think it is a fair provision. Anyway, I am not proposing any amendment. I am just giving my comments."
