Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 1 only
Under Article 249, the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) alone can pass a two-thirds resolution declaring it is in the national interest for Parliament to legislate on a State List subject, making Statement 1 correct. A Proclamation of National Emergency (Article 352) must be approved by BOTH Houses of Parliament within one month (earlier two months); therefore Statement 2 is incorrect. Hence only statement 1 is correct. ([indiankanoon.org](https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1883579/?utm_source=openai))
