Consider the following statements : Attorney General of India can 1. take part in the proceedings of the Lok Sabha 2. be a member of a committee of the Lok Sabha 3. speak in the Lok Sabha 4. vote in the Lok Sabha Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Article 88 of the Constitution of India deals with the rights of Ministers and the Attorney General as respects Houses. 2. It states that the Attorney General of India shall have the right to speak in, and otherwise to take part in the proceedings of, either House of Parliament (including the Lok Sabha). This validates statement 1 and statement 3. 3. Article 88 also grants the Attorney General the right to speak in, and take part in the proceedings of, any committee of Parliament of which he may be named a member. This validates statement 2. 4. However, Article 88 explicitly states that the Attorney General shall *not* by virtue of this article be entitled to vote. This invalidates statement 4. 5. Therefore, the correct statements are 1, 2, and 3.
