Following Madhya Pradesh High Court order to prominently display the order lifting restrictions on government officials ties with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the Minister of Home Affairs had displayed the order on its website for “public knowledge”.
Earlier, on July 25, the Madhya Pradesh High Court said that it had taken the Union government “five decades to realise its mistake” in banning government employees from joining the “internationally renowned” Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
“It took almost five decades for the Central Government to realise its mistake; to acknowledge that an internationally renowned organisation like RSS was wrongly placed amongst the banned organisations of the country and that its removal therefrom is quintessential. Aspirations of many central government employees of serving the country in many ways, therefore got diminished in these five decades because of this ban,” said the High Court, while disposing of the writ petition of Purushottam Gupta, a retired Central government employee who had approached the court in September 2023 against the ban.
