Which of the following parliamentary motions in India is primarily designed to protect the rights, dignities, and immunities of the House and its members (against any member or outsider), rather than serving as a dedicated instrument of policy or collective-responsibility control over the executive?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
No-Confidence Motions (under Rule 198 of the Lok Sabha Rules), Censure Motions, and Calling Attention Motions are dedicated parliamentary instruments through which the legislature exercises policy, administrative, and collective-responsibility control over the Council of Ministers. By contrast, a Privilege Motion is primarily concerned with safeguarding parliamentary privileges and punishing breaches of privilege or contempt of the House.
