The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on Monday hailed the Narendra Modi government’s decision to lift a decades-old ban on government employees associating with the RSS and its activities.
RSS national publicity in-charge, Sunil Ambekar said that the Sangh has been engaged in the reconstruction of the nation and service of the society for the last 99 years. From national security to national integration and even during the natural calamities, RSS has worked tirelessly to help the people of the country, he said.
He further said that the previous governments had placed a ban on government employees participating in RSS’s activities, “a cultural and social organisation in nature”, due to their political interests.
He added that the current decision of the Central government would establish the rights and democratic system of India.
