During an emergency all of the following fundamental rights are suspended, except

  • A.Freedom of Association
  • B.Freedom of Speech and Expression
  • C.Right to Life and Personal Liberty
  • D.Freedom of Assembly without Arms

Answer: C

The right not suspended is the Right to Life and Personal Liberty.

Since the 44th Constitutional Amendment of 1978, the President cannot suspend the enforcement of the rights in Articles 20 and 21 during an emergency. Article 21 is the protection of life and personal liberty, and Article 20 gives protection in respect of conviction for offences.

The other three are freedoms under Article 19: speech and expression, peaceful assembly without arms, and association. Under Article 358 these are suspended automatically when a national emergency is declared on the ground of war or external aggression.
