&lt;br /&gt;
Babus will need to be careful what they say, or draw, on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre on Tuesday proposed changes to the rulebook to explicitly treat criticism of government policies on social media as a violation of conduct rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the threat of disciplinary action for criticising the government is not limited to the written word. It includes caricatures that are uncharitable to the government too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, the new rule also gives officials sanction to use social media in discharge of their duties or otherwise, as long as they do not cross the line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposal comes weeks after an IAS officer Ajay Gangwar &amp;lsquo;liked&amp;rsquo; a Facebook post critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Let me know the mistakes that Nehru should not have committed...Is it his mistake that he prevented all of us from becoming Hindu Talibani Rashtra in 1947?...&amp;rdquo; he wrote, in an oblique reference to continuing attacks on Nehru by BJP leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gangwar, who was Barwani collector, was transferred to the secretariat in Bhopal by the BJP&amp;rsquo;s Madhya Pradesh government and told to give an explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Government officials have always been barred from criticising government policy or making statements that embarrass the Centre&amp;rsquo;s relations with a state government or a foreign country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the provision only spoke about criticism made in a radio broadcast, public media (such as television) or documents. Social media was not clearly covered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The change now fixes this gap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The member of service shall also not make any such statement on television, social media or any other communication application,&amp;rdquo; the draft rule, sent by the Centre&amp;rsquo;s department of personnel &amp;amp; training to state governments for their views, said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A government source said the existing rules were primarily addressed at criticism made by officials in traditional television and print media, not the new media. &amp;ldquo;The change primarily seeks to clarify the situation and not leave any scope for misinterpretation,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For now, the changes are being made to the conduct rules for the three All India Services &amp;ndash; Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the government notifies the changes after reviewing suggestions from the state governments, similar changes will be made to a separate set of the conduct rules applicable for other employees too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;They paid for FB posts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
January, 2016: A trainee civil police officer in Kochi is suspended for posting lewd comments on a Facebook photo of Malayalam actress Manju Warrier&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
February, 2016: A senior Assam police officer is suspended for posting comments against Muslims on Facebook&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May, 2016: Barwani district collector Ajay Singh Gangwar is transferred by the Madhya Pradesh government for praising the country&amp;rsquo;s first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, in a Facebook post

Babus will need to be careful what they say, or draw, on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre on Tuesday proposed changes to the rulebook to explicitly treat criticism of government policies on social media as a violation of conduct rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the threat of disciplinary action for criticising the government is not limited to the written word. It includes caricatures that are uncharitable to the government too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, the new rule also gives officials sanction to use social media in discharge of their duties or otherwise, as long as they do not cross the line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposal comes weeks after an IAS officer Ajay Gangwar &amp;lsquo;liked&amp;rsquo; a Facebook post critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Let me know the mistakes that Nehru should not have committed...Is it his mistake that he prevented all of us from becoming Hindu Talibani Rashtra in 1947?...&amp;rdquo; he wrote, in an oblique reference to continuing attacks on Nehru by BJP leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gangwar, who was Barwani collector, was transferred to the secretariat in Bhopal by the BJP&amp;rsquo;s Madhya Pradesh government and told to give an explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Government officials have always been barred from criticising government policy or making statements that embarrass the Centre&amp;rsquo;s relations with a state government or a foreign country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the provision only spoke about criticism made in a radio broadcast, public media (such as television) or documents. Social media was not clearly covered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The change now fixes this gap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The member of service shall also not make any such statement on television, social media or any other communication application,&amp;rdquo; the draft rule, sent by the Centre&amp;rsquo;s department of personnel &amp;amp; training to state governments for their views, said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A government source said the existing rules were primarily addressed at criticism made by officials in traditional television and print media, not the new media. &amp;ldquo;The change primarily seeks to clarify the situation and not leave any scope for misinterpretation,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For now, the changes are being made to the conduct rules for the three All India Services &amp;ndash; Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the government notifies the changes after reviewing suggestions from the state governments, similar changes will be made to a separate set of the conduct rules applicable for other employees too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;They paid for FB posts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
January, 2016: A trainee civil police officer in Kochi is suspended for posting lewd comments on a Facebook photo of Malayalam actress Manju Warrier&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
February, 2016: A senior Assam police officer is suspended for posting comments against Muslims on Facebook&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May, 2016: Barwani district collector Ajay Singh Gangwar is transferred by the Madhya Pradesh government for praising the country&amp;rsquo;s first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, in a Facebook post

The Centre on Tuesday proposed changes to the rulebook to explicitly treat criticism of government policies on social media as a violation of conduct rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the threat of disciplinary action for criticising the government is not limited to the written word. It includes caricatures that are uncharitable to the government too.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The proposal comes weeks after an IAS officer Ajay Gangwar &amp;lsquo;liked&amp;rsquo; a Facebook post critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Let me know the mistakes that Nehru should not have committed...Is it his mistake that he prevented all of us from becoming Hindu Talibani Rashtra in 1947?...&amp;rdquo; he wrote, in an oblique reference to continuing attacks on Nehru by BJP leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gangwar, who was Barwani collector, was transferred to the secretariat in Bhopal by the BJP&amp;rsquo;s Madhya Pradesh government and told to give an explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Government officials have always been barred from criticising government policy or making statements that embarrass the Centre&amp;rsquo;s relations with a state government or a foreign country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the provision only spoke about criticism made in a radio broadcast, public media (such as television) or documents. Social media was not clearly covered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The change now fixes this gap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The member of service shall also not make any such statement on television, social media or any other communication application,&amp;rdquo; the draft rule, sent by the Centre&amp;rsquo;s department of personnel &amp;amp; training to state governments for their views, said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A government source said the existing rules were primarily addressed at criticism made by officials in traditional television and print media, not the new media. &amp;ldquo;The change primarily seeks to clarify the situation and not leave any scope for misinterpretation,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For now, the changes are being made to the conduct rules for the three All India Services &amp;ndash; Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the government notifies the changes after reviewing suggestions from the state governments, similar changes will be made to a separate set of the conduct rules applicable for other employees too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;They paid for FB posts&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
January, 2016: A trainee civil police officer in Kochi is suspended for posting lewd comments on a Facebook photo of Malayalam actress Manju Warrier&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
February, 2016: A senior Assam police officer is suspended for posting comments against Muslims on Facebook&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
May, 2016: Barwani district collector Ajay Singh Gangwar is transferred by the Madhya Pradesh government for praising the country&amp;rsquo;s first prime minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, in a Facebook post

&lt;br /&gt;
Babus will need to be careful what they say, or draw, on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre on Tuesday proposed changes to the rulebook to explicitly treat criticism of government policies on social media as a violation of conduct rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the threat of disciplinary action for criticising the government is not limited to the written word. It includes caricatures that are uncharitable to the government too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, the new rule also gives officials sanction to use social media in discharge of their duties or otherwise, as long as they do not cross the line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposal comes weeks after an IAS officer Ajay Gangwar &amp;lsquo;liked&amp;rsquo; a Facebook post critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Let me know the mistakes that Nehru should not have committed...Is it his mistake that he prevented all of us from becoming Hindu Talibani Rashtra in 1947?...&amp;rdquo; he wrote, in an oblique reference to continuing attacks on Nehru by BJP leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gangwar, who was Barwani collector, was transferred to the secretariat in Bhopal by the BJP&amp;rsquo;s Madhya Pradesh government and told to give an explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Government officials have always been barred from criticising government policy or making statements that embarrass the Centre&amp;rsquo;s relations with a state government or a foreign country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the provision only spoke about criticism made in a radio broadcast, public media (such as television) or documents. Social media was not clearly covered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The change now fixes this gap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The member of service shall also not make any such statement on television, social media or any other communication application,&amp;rdquo; the draft rule, sent by the Centre&amp;rsquo;s department of personnel &amp;amp; training to state governments for their views, said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A government source said the existing rules were primarily addressed at criticism made by officials in traditional television and print media, not the new media. &amp;ldquo;The change primarily seeks to clarify the situation and not leave any scope for misinterpretation,&amp;rdquo; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For now, the changes are being made to the conduct rules for the three All India Services &amp;ndash; Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once the government notifies the changes after reviewing suggestions from the state governments, similar changes will be made to a separate set of the conduct rules applicable for other employees too.&lt;br /&gt;

Babus will need to be careful what they say, or draw, on social media.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Centre on Tuesday proposed changes to the rulebook to explicitly treat criticism of government policies on social media as a violation of conduct rules.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And the threat of disciplinary action for criticising the government is not limited to the written word. It includes caricatures that are uncharitable to the government too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, the new rule also gives officials sanction to use social media in discharge of their duties or otherwise, as long as they do not cross the line.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The proposal comes weeks after an IAS officer Ajay Gangwar &amp;lsquo;liked&amp;rsquo; a Facebook post critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Let me know the mistakes that Nehru should not have committed...Is it his mistake that he prevented all of us from becoming Hindu Talibani Rashtra in 1947?...&amp;rdquo; he wrote, in an oblique reference to continuing attacks on Nehru by BJP leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gangwar, who was Barwani collector, was transferred to the secretariat in Bhopal by the BJP&amp;rsquo;s Madhya Pradesh government and told to give an explanation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Government officials have always been barred from criticising government policy or making statements that embarrass the Centre&amp;rsquo;s relations with a state government or a foreign country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the provision only spoke about criticism made in a radio broadcast, public media (such as television) or documents. Social media was not clearly covered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The change now fixes this gap.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The member of service shall also not make any such statement on television, social media or any other communication application,&amp;rdquo; the draft rule, sent by the Centre&amp;rsquo;s department of personnel &amp;amp; training to state governments for their views, said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
For now, the changes are being made to the conduct rules for the three All India Services &amp;ndash; Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service.&lt;br /&gt;

Babus will need to be careful what they say, or draw, on social media.<br />
<br />
The Centre on Tuesday proposed changes to the rulebook to explicitly treat criticism of government policies on social media as a violation of conduct rules.<br />
<br />
And the threat of disciplinary action for criticising the government is not limited to the written word. It includes caricatures that are uncharitable to the government too.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, the new rule also gives officials sanction to use social media in discharge of their duties or otherwise, as long as they do not cross the line.<br />
<br />
The proposal comes weeks after an IAS officer Ajay Gangwar &lsquo;liked&rsquo; a Facebook post critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Let me know the mistakes that Nehru should not have committed...Is it his mistake that he prevented all of us from becoming Hindu Talibani Rashtra in 1947?...&rdquo; he wrote, in an oblique reference to continuing attacks on Nehru by BJP leaders.<br />
<br />
Gangwar, who was Barwani collector, was transferred to the secretariat in Bhopal by the BJP&rsquo;s Madhya Pradesh government and told to give an explanation.<br />
<br />
Government officials have always been barred from criticising government policy or making statements that embarrass the Centre&rsquo;s relations with a state government or a foreign country.<br />
<br />
But the provision only spoke about criticism made in a radio broadcast, public media (such as television) or documents. Social media was not clearly covered.<br />
<br />
The change now fixes this gap.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;The member of service shall also not make any such statement on television, social media or any other communication application,&rdquo; the draft rule, sent by the Centre&rsquo;s department of personnel &amp; training to state governments for their views, said.<br />
<br />
A government source said the existing rules were primarily addressed at criticism made by officials in traditional television and print media, not the new media. &ldquo;The change primarily seeks to clarify the situation and not leave any scope for misinterpretation,&rdquo; he said.<br />
<br />
For now, the changes are being made to the conduct rules for the three All India Services &ndash; Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service.<br />
<br />
Once the government notifies the changes after reviewing suggestions from the state governments, similar changes will be made to a separate set of the conduct rules applicable for other employees too.<br />

Rules framed: Civil servants not allowed to criticise govt on social media -Aloke Tikku

-Hindustan Times Babus will need to be careful what they say, or draw, on social media. The Centre on Tuesday proposed changes to the rulebook to explicitly treat criticism of government policies on social media as a violation of conduct rules. And the threat of disciplinary action for criticising the government is not limited to the written word. It includes caricatures that are uncharitable to the government too. On the other hand, the new rule also gives officials sanction to use social media in discharge of their duties or otherwise, as long as they do not cross the line. The proposal comes weeks after an IAS officer Ajay Gangwar ‘liked’ a Facebook post critical of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. “Let me know the mistakes that Nehru should not have committed...Is it his mistake that he prevented all of us from becoming Hindu Talibani Rashtra in 1947?...” he wrote, in an oblique reference to continuing attacks on Nehru by BJP leaders. Gangwar, who was Barwani collector, was transferred to the secretariat in Bhopal by the BJP’s Madhya Pradesh government and told to give an explanation. Government officials have always been barred from criticising government policy or making statements that embarrass the Centre’s relations with a state government or a foreign country. But the provision only spoke about criticism made in a radio broadcast, public media (such as television) or documents. Social media was not clearly covered. The change now fixes this gap. “The member of service shall also not make any such statement on television, social media or any other communication application,” the draft rule, sent by the Centre’s department of personnel & training to state governments for their views, said. A government source said the existing rules were primarily addressed at criticism made by officials in traditional television and print media, not the new media. “The change primarily seeks to clarify the situation and not leave any scope for misinterpretation,” he said. For now, the changes are being made to the conduct rules for the three All India Services – Indian Administrative Service, Indian Police Service and Indian Forest Service. Once the government notifies the changes after reviewing suggestions from the state governments, similar changes will be made to a separate set of the conduct rules applicable for other employees too.
