Haryana refrain its govt employees from indulging in political campaigns

Chattisgarh, October 12: In order to refrain government employees from directly or indirectly indulging in political activities, the Haryana Government on Monday issued an order banning employees from taking part in political campaigns. The BJP led Haryana government has warned all its employees of strict actions if found violating the order.

 

 

The state government in its latest order stated that the no government employees will be allowed or associated to be a member of any political party or organization. It further added that no employee should canvas or interfere with or use his or her influence in connection with or take part in an election of any legislature or local authority. The new order comes in the light of upcoming elections in neighbouring states. Political parties in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh are now gearing up for the assembly elections in 2022.

 

According to the latest order, the display of any electoral symbol in person, vehicle or residence of any government employee will be against the law. A state government employee will not be allowed to join or continue to be a member of an association which in turns objects to public order. However, an employee can become a member or office-bearer of a state or national level association that functions with the aim of promoting sports.
