Question

Is the Prime Minister bound to advise the president on the matters on which his advice is sought?
A) Yes
B) No
C) It is discretionary
D) If the council of the minister so desires

Answer 1

Hint: In a parliamentary framework, the leader sets the public plan, designates bureau authorities, and administers at the command of a party or an alliance of gatherings. In parliamentary frameworks, presidents—when present—fill in as to a great extent formal heads of state.

Complete answer:
The Prime Minister of India, as we know, is appointed by the President. He serves the office at the pleasure of the President. Similarly, the Council of Ministers also serves the office at the pleasure of the President. This makes the Prime Minister bound to provide any advice to the President on whatever matter it is sought by the President.

The Prime Minister will undoubtedly exhort the President on the issue on which exhortation is looked for. Article 74 of the Constitution gives that the Council of Ministers and the Prime Minister will help and prompt the President who will practice his capacity as per such exhortation. The President might require the Council of Ministers to reexamine the exhortation, and the President will act as per the counsel offered after such reexamination.

However, as the exhortation given by the Council of Ministers is restricting the Indian President, actually, the greater part of these forces’ rests with the Council of Ministers; yet choices are taken for the sake of the President of India.

Thus, the correct answer is Option (A) Yes, the Prime Minister is bound to advise the president on the matters on which his advice is sought

Note: In India, the President is known as the 'Head of the state' and the Prime Minister is known as the 'Head of the Government'. In our country, the real power is executed by the Prime Minister and his Council of Ministers. The President of India exercises only nominal powers.
