Director of All India Institute of Medical Sciences sacked

Sacking of Dr. P. Venugopal is the second sacking of Directors by Congress Government

The Congress Government does it again.
Earlier, it had sacked Dr. Kacker, the then Director of the same Institute (AIIMS, New Delhi).
Against the said sacking order, Dr. Kacker filed a case in the Delhi High Court. But failed due to ...

The Government Counsel could not satisfy the Delhi High Court (Single Bench) as to:-
i) What were the specific charges against Dr. Venugopal (relevant under Article 311 of the Constitution of India read with the Principles of Natural Justice, in those cases in which the removal of an employee is sought on disciplinary grounds)?
ii) By being the Chairman of the apex body of the AIIMS, does the Minister of Health & Family Affairs hold an 'office of profit'--such that it disqualifies him from the Membership of Parliament? What is not an 'office of profit'?

When the Chief Justice of India is appointed ex-officio as the 'President' of a registered Society, viz. the Indian Law Institute (a deemed University), does he hold an 'office of profit'--especially when the bye-laws (Articles of Association) of the said Institute mandate that the CJI shall be its ex-officio President?

When you have a corrupt Congress Government at the Centre it is not surprising that such things happen. The further complication is the black mail of regional political parties like the PMK to which Anbumani Ramadoss belongs. The people wioll get tired of this Sonia manMohan Sing duet and hopefully in ther next election the Congress will be rooted out lock stock and barrel. Till then we have to endure the misconduct of these criminal politician sof the Congrees and their allies.
