Rights come with duties

Sir, - Constitutional functionaries like Ministers deserve certain privileges when they hold office, but these are accompanied by Constitutional responsibilities. Obstructing the procedure of the State police and assaulting an officer in uniform are neither a privilege nor an exhibition of responsibility.

The Union Cabinet decided that the Governor did not apply her `independent' mind in preparing her report. The same Cabinet failed to accept that two of the Ministers did not maintain decorum in discharging their responsibilities in respecting Constitutional propriety and the law of the land.
