Why did the DoPT decide to remove the 58-year-old ban on government servants associating with RSS as per Jairam Ramesh
Explore the rationale behind the DoPT's move to lift the long-standing restriction on civil servants' affiliation with RSS, as stated by Jairam Ramesh.
The ban was considered outdated and inconsistent with democratic principles of freedom of association and expression.
Times have changed since the ban was imposed in 1966, and the RSS is no longer viewed as a banned organization.
The Supreme Court has clarified that the RSS is only a social organization and not any kind of mafia or criminal organization.
Creating a level playing field for civil servants to participate in various social and cultural activities without discrimination based on ideology or political affiliation.
Promoting inclusivity and diversity in the public sector by allowing civil servants to engage with a wide range of organizations, including the RSS.
