Isn't there a restriction in the constitution on which ministries the president can have under him?

Yet another horrific step by pina to control the judiciary. His antics will not go on for much longer. First honour the decision of the Supreme court and chase away the wretched IGP, who like you, has come through the back door.

The reason is - He (the president) will continue his wild attitude to suppress the judiciary knowing that he is protected under the presidential immunity.
