§ A Government servant may not take part in, or subscribe in aid of, any political movement in India, or relating to Indian affairs. Nor may he attend any political meeting his presence at which is likely to be misconstrued, or to impair his public usefulness. When there is room for doubt whether any action which a Government servant proposes to take will contravene the provisions of this rule, he should refer the matter for orders to the local Government to which, or the Government servant to whom, he is immediately subordinate.
