Does the President of India, the only public official in our Constitution under oath to preserve and protect all laws and Constitution, have any responsibility? If so, does he have any accountability? The Constitution of course empowers Parliament to impeach the President if he transgresses due process and law. But what accountability does the President’s office undergo in day to day functioning? It seems none at all. Is that why President Pranab Mukherjee despite his formidable political experience remains a mute and helpless spectator as governance and the rule of law and procedure continue to crumble in India? Well, now the time may have come when events might compel the President to act and discharge his responsibilities as undertaken in his oath of office.
