Which of the following is/are the exclusive power(s) of Lok Sabha ? 1. To ratify the declaration of Emergency 2. To pass a motion of no-confidence against the Council of Ministers 3. To impeach the President of India Select the correct answer using the code given below:

1. Statement 1: To ratify the declaration of Emergency, approval from both Houses of Parliament (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) is required as per Article 352. It is not an exclusive power of the Lok Sabha. Thus, statement 1 is incorrect. 2. Statement 2: A motion of no-confidence against the Council of Ministers can only be introduced and passed in the Lok Sabha. This is because the Council of Ministers is collectively responsible only to the Lok Sabha (Article 75(3)). This is an exclusive power of the Lok Sabha. Thus, statement 2 is correct. 3. Statement 3: The process to impeach the President of India (Article 61) can be initiated in either House of Parliament (Lok Sabha or Rajya Sabha) and requires passage by both Houses. It is not an exclusive power of the Lok Sabha. Thus, statement 3 is incorrect. 4. Since only statement 2 is correct, the correct option is (B).
