Centre Lifts Ban On Government Employees Taking Part In RSS Activities

The Centre has lifted a ban on government employees taking part in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) activities. The ban imposed in November 1966 during the rule of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi has been removed by the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances, and Pensions. In a post on X, BJP IT Cell Chief Amit Malviya said the unconstitutional order issued 58 years ago, in 1966, imposing a ban on government employees taking part in RSS activities has been withdrawn by the Modi government. Several state governments, including Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Chhattisgarh, have already removed the restrictions on government employees being linked to the RSS.
