Statement: Should the council of ministers once appointed be kept the same for the entire period intervening two elections? Arguments: I.No. Shuffling of ministers and portfolios is a healthy democratic process. II.Yes. The ministers do not get a hold on their portfolio unless they are kept for a longer duration.
Shuffling of Cabinet ministers is just not a regular process, but a step to ensure proper working and implementation of schemes and avoid corruption. So, none of the arguments holds strong.
Statement: Should cutting of trees be banned altogether? Arguments: I.Yes. It is very much necessary to do so to restore ecological balance. II.No. A total ban would harm timber based industries.
Clearly, trees play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and so must be preserved. So, argument I holds. Also, trees form the basic source of timber and a complete ban on cutting of trees would harm timber based industries. So, only a controlled cutting of trees should be allowed and the loss replenished by planting more trees. So, argument II is also valid.
Statement: Should there be a restriction on the migration of people from one state to another state in India? Arguments: I.No. Any Indian citizen has a basic right to stay at any place of his/her choice and hence they cannot be stopped. II.Yes. This is the way to effect an equitable distribution of resources across the states in India.
