Consider the following statements: I. If any question arises as to whether a Member of the House of the People has become subject to disqualification under the 10th Schedule, the President's decision in accordance with the opinion of the Council of Union Ministers shall be final. II. There is no mention of the word 'political party' in the Constitution of India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Explanation:
Statement I is incorrect because the decision on disqualification under the 10th Schedule (anti-defection law) is made by the presiding officer of the House (Speaker/Chairman), not the President. Statement II is incorrect because the term 'political party' is explicitly mentioned in the Tenth Schedule of the Constitution. Therefore, neither statement is correct.
