More often than not, those responsible for such unseemly controversies <strong>overshadowing (to cause someone or something to seem less important or less happy) <\/strong>the solemn occasion are the incumbents in Raj Bhavan. In the latest <strong>instance (a particular situation, event, or fact, especially an example of something that happens generally)<\/strong>, Tamil Nadu Governor R.N. Ravi has expressed his <strong>inability (lack of ability to do something) <\/strong>to read out the address prepared by the DMK-run government, citing what he termed \u201c<strong>misleading (causing someone to believe something that is not true)<\/strong> claims and facts\u201d in numerous passages. Reading them out, he claimed, would have made the Governor\u2019s address \u201ca constitutional travesty\u201d. <strong>Compounding (something consisting of two or more different parts) <\/strong>this constitutional <strong>mischief (damage or harm, or an act that causes damage or harm) <\/strong>with a partisan claim, he sought to make much of the fact that the national anthem is played only at the end of the address and not at the beginning also. Anyone who understands the Governor\u2019s role in a parliamentary democracy will know that it is the one declining to read out the address prepared by an elected government who reduces the address to a travesty. Governments are run by parties that contest elections on a political platform, and it is only to be expected that they would seek to <strong>trumpet (to make people aware of something important) <\/strong>their achievements, real or <strong>exaggerated (seeming larger, more important, better, or worse than it really is)<\/strong>, in policy statements. It is the role of the political opposition and the people to judge the content of the address, and not that of the Governor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A simple test to ascertain the tenability of Mr. Ravi\u2019s claim that he declined to read out the <strong>customary (usual) <\/strong>address on factual and moral grounds is to raise the question whether either the President or a Governor in a Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled State would ever do so. He did not spell out what exactly the misleading or factually wrong points were, but it is not constitutionally sustainable to claim that the Governor\u2019s address should contain no criticism of the Centre or make no policy pronouncements against the Centre\u2019s policies. However, his point that the Speaker should not have launched a tirade against him after reading out the Tamil version of the Governor\u2019s prepared speech is justified. Such conduct by constitutional functionaries <strong>detract (to make something seem less valuable or less deserving of admiration than it really is) <\/strong>from the Assembly\u2019s dignity. The larger issue is still the <strong>propensity (the fact that someone is likely to behave in a particular way, especially a bad way) <\/strong>of Governors to act as political agents of the ruling party at the Centre. It is an unfortunate feature of India\u2019s constitutional system that the country is never short of grey <strong>eminences (the state of being famous, respected, or important) <\/strong>eager to occupy <strong>gubernatorial (relating to a governor) <\/strong>office, but once appointed, they are equally eager to enter the political thicket. It is as if they believe that their duty is to obstruct and undermine State governments run by political <strong>adversaries (an enemy)<\/strong>. The real travesty is not in a formal address containing questionable claims, but in a Governor who disagrees profoundly with its policy while remaining in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlock the power of words, one step further!<strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to know the meanings of difficult words in the Hindu Editorial Vocabulary of February 13, 2024?
