After dismissing minister, Tamil Nadu guv strikes time out following outrage

CHENNAI: Tamil Nadu guv registered nurse Ravi “dismissed” minister V Senthil Balaji from the council of ministers “with instant result” on Thursday and after that, some hours and much criticism later on, notified chief minister MK Stalin that he wishes to “keep in abeyance”. The stunning “sacking” of a minister by a guv without suggestions from the CM and the expeditious climbdown are actions potentially extraordinary in contemporary Indian political history.
