The Governor, who has no power to dismiss a minister from the Council of Ministers, should discharge his duty as stipulated in the Indian Constitution, which will dignify the Constitutional post he holds, Tamil Nadu Assembly Speaker M. Appavu has said.
During an informal chat with reporters, Mr. Appavu, while participating in a function organised by Nehru Yuva Kendra here on Friday, said BJP’s veteran leaders L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi, who were accused in the Babri Masjid demolition case, appeared for trials of the case even as they were Union Ministers.
Even though they were arrested and remanded in judicial custody, they continued to be ministers and none had removed them from the Council of Ministers.
