    "Though the President is the constitutional head of State, the true head of State is the Prime Minister." Do you agree with this statement?

    Answer:

    The President is only the nominal head of the State because he/she is bound to exercise his/her powers on the advice of the Council of Ministers. If the President refuses to act on the advice of the Council of Ministers, he/she would be violating the Constitution and could face impeachment. Thus, the Prime Minister, who heads the Council of Ministers, is the true head of the State.
