Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Article 88.
Article 88 of the Constitution of India mentions that every Minister and the Attorney-General of India shall have the right to speak in and participate in the proceedings of either House of Parliament. However, they do not have the right to vote in parliamentary proceedings. This provision ensures that ministers and the Attorney-General can advise, explain, and defend government policies or legal positions before both Houses, facilitating informed discussion and legislative decision-making. It reflects the role of the executive in assisting the legislature while maintaining the parliamentary system of governance in India.
