SSC CHSL - 10 Aug 2023 - Shift 4 • General Awareness • Q50

Which statement is FALSE regarding fundamental rights mentioned in the Indian Constitution?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Only Article 20 and 21 can be suspended during emergency.

The false statement is: "Only Article 20 and 21 can be suspended during emergency."

Articles 20 and 21 cannot be suspended even during a national emergency, as clearly stated in Article 359 of the Indian Constitution. These rights deal with protection in respect of conviction for offences and the right to life and personal liberty, respectively. The 44th Constitutional Amendment (1978) ensured their protection during emergencies.
