DR. L. MURUGAN IS A MINISTER IN THE UNION OF INDIA BUT NOT A
MINISTER IN THE EYES OF THE CONSTITUTION! HE IS, THEREFORE, AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL MINISTER!
In the
Cabinet reshuffle made on July 7, 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made
Dr. L. Murugan a Minister of State in the expanded cabinet. While everyone’s oath-taking went off
smoothly, Dr. L. Murugan’s stirred a controversy as he has said during the oath that
he hails from Kongu Nadu of Tamil Nadu!
There is no ‘Kongu Nadu’ in today’s official Indian map or in the Indian
Postal directory or the very Constitution itself! Yet, he has had audacity to say so in his
oath-taking. It was not a slip of tongue
nor did he utter the same on his own but for the inducement or approval of the
top level in the BJP, say, Mr. Modi/ Mr. Amit Shah/ Mr. J. P. Nadda because the latters
are known to kick-start some unwarranted
controversy and sarcastically enjoy over it!
It is the fascist style!
Mr. L. Murugan is well known for servility and subservience as one started
his political life from Akhil Bharatiya Vidya Parishad (ABVP), the student wing
of the RSS and that was why he has been chosen for all these dirty games! Surprisingly,
he is a Master of Laws and Doctorate in Law!! (M.A.,LL.M., Ph.D.!) Yet,
he could use the word which is anathema to the Constitution! Well, to recall Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s
definition, a doubt arises whether he is merely an educationally qualified one or an intellectual too.
His
ignorance or poor knowledge in Constitution is exposed in the whatsapp social
media when he was talking about the terminology “Union” and he could not even
refer to the Article 1 (1) of the Constitution which defines India! (“India,
that is Bharat, shall be a Union of States”) and countered the usage of the
word ‘Union of India’ by the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Mr. M. K. Stalin and his
Ministers as if they are using the divisive and sessionist word! It is nothing
but an utter ignorance of the Constitution! It is not known whether the Law
Universities prescribe the mandatory qualification
of one getting mastered in the Constitution prior to conferring the Doctorate
and if not it should be done as a pre-requisite and mandatory throughout India.
The PM and the BJP top leadership
wanted a ‘yes man’ to toe the lines of the party which would escape when the blame-game
arises! Now everyone started criticizing
Mr. L. Murugan and not any top face hiding behind this game. This is the game-plan of RSS-BJP.
Coming
to the usage of the non-existent ‘Kongu Nadu’ from which Mr. L. Murugan, during
his oath-taking claims to hail, it has to be categorically stated that he is
not a Minister in the Cabinet of Mr. Modi as his oath-taking was in violation of
the Constitution. It can be challenged
before any High Court or Supreme Court that he is not a Minister and yet he
functions as a Minister and his Ministership can be declared by the Court as
unconstitutional and thus a situation can warrant for his oath-taking again to
fit into the Constitutional scheme. It
is not just his own audacity but the audacity of the top leaders in BJP and
Cabinet with scant respect to the Constitution and their evil political agenda of ‘dividing and
ruling’.
When
Mr. Barack Obama took oath as the President of the USA on January 20, 2009,
there was one word out of sequence which was contrary to the US Constitution.
As per the US Constitutional scheme, he
should have taken oath as “I will faithfully
execute the office of President of
the United States” whereas he had mistakenly taken oath affirming, “I will execute the office of President to the United States faithfully.” Having realized this constitutional mistake
Mr. Barack Obama took oath again on the next day, Wednesday duly administered by
the U S Chief Justice John Roberts. This
is a part of the history. Can this tacit
admission of mistake and corrective action resorted to by Mr. Barack Obama
himself be expected from Mr. L. Murugan or Mr. Modi will venture to correct this?
Never. Because it is the BJP’s hidden agenda to create confusion and chaos in
Tamil Nadu as has been everywhere because their dream of riding on the
AIADMK-horse did not fructify in the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections in 2021. Admitting
mistakes and correcting them has never been in the DNA of BJP or Sangh
parivar.
No
High Court or the Supreme Court will initiate suo motu action in this
regard. But if any citizen of India
files a writ petition before any High Court or the Supreme Court of India,
citing the deliberate mistake systematically committed against the
Constitution, then Mr. L. Murugan has to face the music and he will be left with
no option other than running to the President of India for oath-taking afresh to
stick on to the ministerial berth and enjoy the position as he longs for it. The Scheduled Caste people including
Government and PSU employees have seen what kind of service he has done to the
Scheduled Castes when he was the Vice Chairman of the National Commission for
Scheduled Castes leaving the SCs, and even the Arundhatiyar community which he himself belongs to, in a miserable
condition when he had the authority to rescue the victims but reported to have
joined hands with the oppressive caste Hindus in many cases, if not all.

Hon.Minister for state L.Murugan's taking oath as having hailed from Kongunadu had stirred a controversy. It was a clerical mistake as was unconvincingly owned by the minister himself in an uncomfortable interview. While the constitutional validity in legal prism is unknown,the motive behind the reference of a non existant place in Tamilnadu is understandable. NDA's gross failures in governance and total mismanagement in Covid pulling down the credibility, the dirty ploy to divert public ire could not be dismissed.
