Q. For how many maximum months can a person who is not a member of Parliament be appointed as a Minister by the President? एक व्यक्ति जो संसद का सदस्य नहीं है, उसे राष्ट्रपति द्वारा अधिकतम कितने महीनों के लिए मंत्री के रूप में नियुक्त किया जा सकता है ?
(A) 3 months
(B) 6 months
(C) 9 months
(D) 12 months
Answer: (B)
It is stated that if a person is not a sitting member of either House of a parliament, he can be a minister for only a period of 6 months. To save his position he must become a member of any either House of a parliament by means of election.
If a person who is not the member of parliament is appointed as a minister he has to get elected to the either house of parliament within six month.
