Indira Imposed the Ban... Modi Lifted It!

Government Employees Will Participate in RSS Programs

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made a significant decision to lift the ban on government employees participating in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) programs. This ban was imposed in the 1970s by then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

During Indira Gandhi's tenure, there were various apprehensions and contradictions regarding the activities of the RSS, leading to the ban on government employees from participating in the organization's programs. This decision was made considering the political and social circumstances of that time.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to lift this ban to establish harmony between the RSS and the government and strengthen the country's social and cultural fabric.

 What's New for Government Employees?

Now, government employees can participate in various programs, seminars, and workshops of the RSS. This move will increase the dissemination of the organization's ideas and programs and enhance the synergy between government policies and the objectives of the RSS.

The government has clarified that the participation of employees will be entirely voluntary, and no pressure will be exerted on them. Welcoming this decision, senior leaders of the RSS said that this would also bring government machinery's cooperation in nation-building activities.

 Political Reactions

This decision has caused a stir in political circles. Opposition parties have strongly reacted to it, calling it against democratic values. The Congress party has described it as a misuse of government machinery and said that this decision is another step towards authoritarianism.

However, the BJP has defended this decision, stating that the RSS is a social and cultural organization and that the participation of government employees will bring positive changes in society.

Conclusion

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision has sparked a new debate in the country's politics and society. On one hand, it is seen as an effort to establish harmony among different sections of society, while on the other hand, it is viewed as a misuse of government machinery. It will be interesting to see how this decision impacts society and politics in the coming times.
