UPSC 2025: Consider the following statements : I. If any question arises as to whether a Member of the House of the People has become subject to disqualification under the 10th Schedule, the President’s decision in accordance with the opinion of the Council of Union Ministers shall be final. II. There is no mention of the word ‘political party’ in the Constitution of India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)I only
(b)II only
(c)Both I and II
(d)Neither I nor II
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) Neither I nor II
Under paragraph 6 of the Tenth Schedule, questions of disqualification for defection are decided by the Speaker (or Chairman), not by the President; hence Statement I is incorrect. The term “political party” occurs repeatedly in the Tenth Schedule (e.g., para 2, Explanation (a)), so Statement II is also incorrect. Thus neither statement is correct.
