Shwait Malik welcomes lifting of ban on government employees joining RSS

Amritsar, July 22

While welcoming the decision of the Central government to lift the ban on government employees becoming members of the Rashtriya Swyamsevak Sangh (RSS), former BJP MP and state party unit president Shwait Malik said that the ban imposed by the Congress government in 1966 was undemocratic.

Malik said that the basic principle of the Sangh is to be ‘karma pradhan’, which means that the Sangh’s work is beyond the expectations of anonymity and publicity.

Shwait Malik said that the RSS is the largest volunteer organisation of the country which does not have any corporate office or public relations agency to promote it.

The Sangh is against the glorification or worship of a person, that is why the flag is worshipped here, he said. “The thinking of the Sangh is to fulfill its responsibilities towards society selflessly. No project of the Sangh works with any motive or for publicity,” he added.

Malik said that any responsible worker of the Sangh never introduces himself publicly or with a visiting card, nor any unauthorised person appears in the media. Banners, posters, name and designations, all this is forbidden in the Sangh, he said.
