Q. Consider the following statements in the context of Censure Motion and Motion of No Confidence in the Indian Parliament:
  1. A Motion of No Confidence can be moved only in the Lok Sabha, whereas a Censure Motion can be moved in either House of Parliament.
  2. A Motion of No Confidence can be moved against the entire Council of Ministers, while a Censure Motion can be moved against individual members.
Which of the above statement(s) is / are correct?
Answer: Only 2
Notes: A censure motion can be moved against individual ministers and expresses disapproval, but does not remove the government. A motion of no confidence, however, is directed only against the entire Council of Ministers and can be moved only in Lok Sabha. Censure motions also can be introduced only in Lok Sabha, not in either House. Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
