The government lifted the ban on government employees participating in events organized by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Monday.
Government servants are now allowed to take part in RSS activities, as the restriction that was put in place in 1966 has been lifted.
The order stated, “It has been decided to remove the mention of Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh (RSS) from the impugned OMS dated 30.11.1966, 25.07.1970 and 28.10.1980.”
Speaking about this order, Sunil Ambekar Akhil Bharatiya Prachar Pramukh Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh ( RSS), said, ‘The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has been continuously engaged in the reconstruction of the nation and the service of society for the past 99 years. Due to the RSS’s contributions in times of national security, unity-integrity, and natural disasters, the various types of leadership in the country have, from time to time, praised the role of the RSS. Due to their political self-interests, the then-government unjustly prohibited government employees from participating in the activities of a constructive organisation like the RSS. The recent decision of the Government is appropriate and will strengthen the democratic system of Bharat.’
