The central government has lifted the ban on government employees participating in the activities of the Rashtriya Swayamseval Sangah (RSS), according to an order issued by the Ministry of Personnel. Confirming the development, BJP leader Amit Malviya in his post on X previously known as Twitter said that the unconstitutional order issued 58 years ago, in 1966, imposing a ban on government employees taking part in the activities of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh has been withdrawn by Prime Minister Narendra Modi government. “The original order shouldn’t have been passed in the first place. The ban was imposed because on 7 Nov 1966, there was a massive anti-cow-slaughter protest at the Parliament. RSS-Jana Sangh mobilised support in lakhs. Many died in police firing. On 30 Nov 1966, shaken by the RSS-Jana Sangh clout, Indira Gandhi banned Govt staff from joining the RSS,” he further said in his order on X previously known as Twitter.
