Current Affairs - Bills and Acts - Discussion

Article 75(2) of the Constitution of India provides that Union ministers hold office during the pleasure of the President. This provision operates within India’s parliamentary system, where the President acts on the aid and advice of the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers, in accordance with the Constitution. The provision was highlighted when President Droupadi Murmu accepted L. Murugan’s resignation from the Union Council of Ministers following the Prime Minister’s advice. Murugan, who served as Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting and Parliamentary Affairs, resigned to focus on strengthening the BJP’s organisational presence in Tamil Nadu.
