Explanationव्याख्या
A person may be appointed as a Union Minister even if that person is not a member of either House of Parliament at the time of appointment.
However, Article 75(5) requires such a minister to become a member of either House within six consecutive months.
If the person does not acquire parliamentary membership within that period, the person cannot continue as minister after the expiry of the six months.
This provision allows some flexibility in forming the ministry while preserving the fundamental parliamentary principle that ministers must ultimately be connected with Parliament through membership.
किसी व्यक्ति को केंद्रीय मंत्री नियुक्त किए जाने के समय उसका संसद के किसी भी सदन का सदस्य होना अनिवार्य नहीं है। लेकिन अनुच्छेद 75(5) के अनुसार ऐसे मंत्री को लगातार छह महीने के भीतर संसद के किसी एक सदन का सदस्य बनना आवश्यक है। यदि वह इस अवधि में संसदीय सदस्यता प्राप्त नहीं करता, तो छह महीने समाप्त होने के बाद मंत्री पद पर बना नहीं रह सकता। यह व्यवस्था सरकार के गठन में कुछ लचीलापन देती है, लेकिन साथ ही संसदीय शासन के इस मूल सिद्धांत को बनाए रखती है कि मंत्री अंततः संसद की सदस्यता से जुड़े हों।
