2.50 members’ support is required for an adjournment motion to be admitted in Lok Sabha.
3.An adjournment motion involves an element of appreciation of the government.
4.An adjournment motion can be moved in the Lok Sabha only after Question Hour.
How many of the statements given above are correct?
Answer: B
Notes:
Explanation –
Statements 1 and 2 are correct. The adjournment motion is a procedure exclusive to the Lok Sabha and is not permitted in the Rajya Sabha. For an adjournment motion to be admitted, it must have the support of at least 50 members of the Lok Sabha.
Statements 3 and 4 are incorrect. An adjournment motion is intended to draw attention to a matter of urgent public importance and typically involves an element of censure against the government. Although typically discussed after Question Hour, there is no strict rule that it must be moved only after Question Hour.
