council of ministers swim together and sink together. justify with their individual and collective responsibilities
Answers
Answer:
a) Every minister must own the decision of cabinet(council of ministers in a broader sense) as his own. The ministers swim and sink together. When a decision has been made in meeting of the cabinet, the ministers must stand by it notwithstanding whether they were absent in the meeting in which the conclusion was reached or disagreed with such a decision when it was being discussed.
b) Every minister should defend the policies of the Government in the parliament. Any minister unwilling to do so should resign.
c) The decision of the council is taken to be the joint decision of all the minsters and they are held responsible together for its consequences, whether good or bad. They are answerable to the parliament for their acts of omissions and commissions.
d) The council of minsters remain in power as long as they enjoy the confidence of the Lok Sabha. Hence if a no-confidence motion moved by the opposition is passed or if a motion of confidence moved by the government is defeated the entire council has to resign.
e) If the Prime Minister resigns from his office then also the council of ministers has to bear the responsibility and resign collectively. No Minister should be retained in office if their leader that is the Prime Minister himself says that he should be dismissed.
