Parliamentary Committee on Welfare of SC and ST
Question
Consider the following statements about the Committee on the Welfare of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes of the Parliament of India:
Which one of the following conclusions based on the above statements is correct? (a) There are four correct statements . (b) There is only one correct statement, that is statement 2 . (c) There are two correct statements, that include statement 1 . (d) There is no correct statement.
Options
There are four correct statements.
There is only one correct statement, that is statement 2.
There are two correct statements, that include statement 1.
There is no correct statement.
Explanation
The correct answer is (d), as all four statements are technically false. The committee consists of 30 members, but the ratio is 20 from the Lok Sabha and 10 from the Rajya Sabha, reversing the numbers in statement 2. The Chairperson is appointed by the Speaker of the Lok Sabha from among its members, making statement 1 false. Statement 3 is incorrect because ministers are barred from joining parliamentary investigative committees to preserve separation of executive oversight. Statement 4 is incorrect because members serve a standard one-year term rather than a two-year assignment.
