Which of the following statements is not correct in relation to Ministers and Council of Ministers ?

  • A.Ministers shall hold office during the pleasure of the Parliament
  • B.The Council of Ministers shall be collectively responsible to the House of People
  • C.Before the Minister enters upon his office, the President shall administer him the oaths of office
  • D.The salaries and allowances of Ministers shall be such as Parliament may by law determine

Answer: A

The statement that is not correct is 'Ministers shall hold office during the pleasure of the Parliament'.

Under Article 75(2), Ministers hold office during the pleasure of the President. Parliament's control is collective: under Article 75(3) the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible to the House of the People, which can remove it by a vote of no confidence.

The other statements are correct: collective responsibility is Article 75(3), the President administers the oaths of office and secrecy under Article 75(4), and salaries and allowances are fixed by Parliament by law under Article 75(6).
