RSS: Central Government Lifts 58-Year Ban, Sparks Controversy | ABP News

The Central Government recently made a significant policy change by lifting a 58-year-old ban that prevented government employees from participating in programs organized by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). This decision now allows government officials to attend RSS events and engage with its branches across the country. The ban was originally instituted to maintain the political neutrality of civil servants and prevent affiliations that could compromise their impartiality in official duties. However, critics, particularly from the Congress Party, argue that this move could undermine secular principles and lead to politicization within the bureaucracy. Supporters of the decision emphasize it respects the personal freedoms of government employees while promoting cultural engagement and community involvement. The debate highlights ongoing discussions on the role of civil servants in non-official activities and the principles of governance in a democratic society.
