(shah Nawaz Bokhari, Rawalpindi)
As you know that every rule is important even adhere as per law is essential. However, we like or dislike these rules as per our understanding. Government is not formed without help of people. So we can say that we need workers for functioning of government. Yes, so true, now, it is responsibility to the government to impose some restriction upon their workers even some criteria which circulate to them and adherence in official capacity as well as individual. The government Servant discipline and Conduct Rule 1964 is very old law but it is essential to follow all the civil servant.
That’s mean it shall impose all civil servant Servants including provincials employers and employees too. The object of this act is very clear to be patriotic to the government.

The words express mean prior permission before broadcast TV or Radio program by the civil servant. It should take implied permission from respective institutions. The authority have right to reject or exempt anyone of this act.
