Policy on character verification for job applicants in UP becomes stricter; will participation in protests disqualify one from government employment?

The policy for character verification of candidates seeking government jobs in UP has been tightened. Directives have been issued by M. Devraj, Principal Secretary of the Appointments Department. The new order stipulates that if an individual participates in any protest in UP that involves any form of violence, they will be denied a government job. While the opposition has raised questions regarding this, BJP leaders have described it as a positive step.
