India TV News  

New Delhi: Senior DMK leader has been reinstated as a Cabinet Minister in the Tamil Nadu government after the Supreme Court rebuked Governor RN Ravi for his refusal to induct the former following a stay on his conviction in a disproportionate assets case. This came after Ravi on Friday accepted Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M K Stalin's recommendation on re-inducting senior DMK MLA K Ponmudi in the cabinet led by him, the Raj Bhavan said in an official statement. The Supreme Court on Thursday directed Governor Ravi to decide on the matter within 24 hours after expressing "serious concern" over his conduct and emphasising his defiance of the Supreme Court's authority. In response to the governor's refusal, the state government has sought a directive from the court instructing Governor Ravi to follow the advice of the council of ministers led by Chief Minister M K Stalin.
