Discussion

Choose the correct statement:

  • A.Out of Referendum, Plebiscite, Ordinance and Recall, only Plebiscite is not a device of the direct democracy
  • B.Out of Articles 15,22,26 and 44 of the Indian Constitution, only Art. 26 does not directly reveal the secular character of the Indian State.
  • C.As per Article 15 of Indian Constitution, discrimination is prohibited on grounds of religion, sex and caste but race or place of birth can be valid grounds for discrimination by state.
  • D.'Public health and sanitation' come under the purview of State list while 'population control and family planning' come under Concurrent list.

Answer: D

The correct statement is the one about public health and family planning.

'Public health and sanitation; hospitals and dispensaries' is Entry 6 of the State List, while 'population control and family planning' is Entry 20A of the Concurrent List, added by the 42nd Amendment in 1976.

The others fail. An ordinance is an executive law-making power, not a device of direct democracy, so it is not only the plebiscite that is excluded. Article 22 deals with protection against arrest and detention and says nothing about secularism, so Article 26 is not the only one. Article 15 prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex and place of birth.
