BJP and RSS Applaud Lifted Ban on Government Employees' Participation

The BJP and RSS have welcomed the Indian government's decision to lift the ban on government employees from participating in RSS activities. The ban, originally imposed by the Congress in 1966, was described as politically motivated. The move is seen as strengthening India's democratic system.

The BJP and the RSS have responded positively to the Centre's decision to lift the ban on government employees participating in RSS activities, a move they believe will fortify India's democratic framework.

The RSS accused past regimes of imposing the ban for political gain, a sentiment echoed by BJP leader and Union minister Piyush Goyal, who criticized the 1966 Congress government for its politically driven decision.

Opposition parties have condemned the move, describing it as appeasement politics, while Goyal defended the RSS as a patriotic and nationalist organization. RSS spokesperson Sunil Ambekar praised the decision, calling it appropriate and highlighting the Sangh's contributions to national security and unity over the last 99 years.
