Under which Article(s), the Speaker can allow any member of the House to speak in his/her mother tongue?

  • A.Article 110 (1)
  • B.Article 122 (2)
  • C.Article 120 (1)
  • D.Both (A) and (B)

Answer: C

The provision is Article 120 (1).

Article 120(1) says that business in Parliament shall be transacted in Hindi or English, but the Speaker of the Lok Sabha (or the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha) may permit a member who cannot adequately express himself or herself in either to address the House in his or her mother tongue.

Article 110(1) defines a Money Bill, and Article 122 bars courts from inquiring into proceedings of Parliament, so neither concerns the language of debate.
