Chennai (IANS). A group of advocates from the Madras High Court called on Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. A letter has been written to President Draupadi Murmu to remove Ravi.
The lawyers wrote in the letter that the law and order situation in the state would deteriorate if the Governor was not called back. The letter states that the governor sacked Tamil Nadu minister Senthil Balaji without any of the powers mentioned in the Constitution of India.
The advocates also said that the governor is trying to project himself as an alternative power center to the elected government, which is not good. He mentioned that under Article 164 (!) of the Constitution, the Governor cannot act in his discretion. He is bound to act as per the advice of the Chief Minister.
The letter also mentions that the sacking of Senthil Balaji from the Council of Ministers by the Governor is in violation of Articles 163 and 164 of the Constitution.
Significantly, Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi and the Stalin government are on a collision course. There have been frequent public fights between the two.
