1965 Office Memorandum Withdrawn, Government Employees Can Associate With RSS

The Narendra Modi led Indian government has taken back the office memorandum imposed in 1965, that prohibited government employees from associating with RSS.

In 1965, the then government had imposed a memorandum stating that government servants could not participate in any activity of RSS.

Ramesh and Khera shared on social media an office memorandum issued by the Department of Personnel and Training on July 9, concerning the “participation of the government servants in the activities of RSS”.

Ramesh shared a purported government order issued earlier this month highlighting the “participation of government servants in the activities of the RSS.”

The Congress leader, in his post on X, launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging that the ban that was in force even during former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s tenure was removed on July 9.

“Sardar Patel had banned the RSS in February 1948 following Gandhiji’s assassination. Subsequently, the ban was withdrawn on assurances of good behaviour. Even after this the RSS never flew the Tiranga in Nagpur. In 1966, a ban was imposed – and rightly so – on government employees taking part in RSS activities,” he said.

The Office Memorandum with subject said that the document referred to earlier office memoranda on the subject that were issued on November 30, 1966, July 25, 1970, and October 28, 1980.

“The aforesaid instructions were reviewed and it was decided to remove the mention of Rashtriya Swayam Sewak Sangh (R.S.S.S)” from the impugned memoranda, the document shared by the Congress leaders stated.
