Not only RSS, government employees were also banned from going to the programs of this Muslim organization, do you know what that order was?

The Central Government has issued an order removing the restrictions imposed on government employees to participate in various activities of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS). The Congress party is questioning that. In fact, the previous Congress governments had from time to time banned civil servants from participating in union functions. A provision was also implemented to punish employees for their involvement in RSS activities. However, in the meantime, several state governments, including Madhya Pradesh, revoked the order, but even after this, the order was considered valid at the central government level. While the case related to this issue was going on in the Indore court, the court had also sought the opinion of the central government. Central government's major decision: The central government has lifted the 58-year-old ban on central employees participating in Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh programmes. In this order, the central government has modified the orders of 1966, 1970 and 1980, which imposed provisions of action and punishment on government servants for engaging in RSS shakha and other activities. An ordinance in this regard was issued by the government on 9 July 2024. What was the 58-year line? About 58 years ago, on November 30, 1966, the Indira Gandhi government banned government employees from participating in the activities of the RSS and Jamaat-e-Islami. The order states that a government servant shall not be a member of any political party or any organization engaged in politics and shall not be associated with it in any way. According to the Ordinance, a Government servant shall not participate in, donate or otherwise assist in any political movement or the activities of such organization. In the 1966 Ordinance, the sub-rules were clarified as Government servants expressed some doubts about the Government's policy regarding membership of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Jamaat-e-Islami and participation in their activities. Clause (1) of rule 5 of the Central Civil Services (Conduct) Rules, 1964 applies to Government servants participating in the activities of these two institutions. Any Government servant who is a member of RSS or Jamaat-e-Islami organization or their activities, or is in any way associated with them, shall be liable to disciplinary action. What is Jamaat-e-Islami? Indira compared the Jamaat-e-Islami to the RSS, an Islamic-political organization founded by Islamic theologian Maulana Abul Ala Maududi in 1941 before independence. Like the Muslim Brotherhood formed in Egypt, Jamaat Islami was the first organization to develop an ideology based on the modern concept of Islam. However, after independence, Jamaat-e-Islami split into several factions, of which Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind were prominent. Jamaat-e-Islami is a cadre-based organization. After independence, Jamaat-e-Islami expanded further and educated youth and mid-level civil servants also started joining it. Apart from this, the organization started spreading its roots all over the world. Some prominent names are Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, Jamaat-e-Islami Britain and Jamaat-e-Islami Jammu Kashmir. In 1966, during the Indira Gandhi government, government servants were banned from joining or joining Jamaat-e-Islami (Jammu and Kashmir). Not only this, it was banned for 2 years in 1975 and for about 3 years in 1990. Now, in 2019, the Modi government has banned Jamaat-e-Islami (Jammu-Kashmir) for 5 years considering it promoting separatist ideology and terrorist mentality in the Valley. The organization has been accused of funding and harboring terrorists. Let us tell you that in 1971, Jamaat-e-Islami (Jammu-Kashmir) also contested assembly elections in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, but could not win a single seat. Jamaat-e-Islami Hind is completely different from Jammu and Kashmir and Jamaat-e-Islami Hind. Jamaat-e-Islami (Jammu and Kashmir) also drafted its constitution in 1953. It supports separatist ideology and terrorism in Kashmir. It has also been accused of brainwashing youths in Kashmir and using them for terrorism. Jamaat-e-Islami Hind is a social organization working in the field of health and education in the country.
