Which one among the following statements about an adjournment motion in the Parliament of India is not correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

The adjournment motion is an extraordinary procedure in the Lok Sabha designed to draw the attention of the House to a recent matter of urgent public importance. Because it involves an element of censure against the Government and interrupts the normal business of the House, it is subject to strict rules of admissibility. One of the primary restrictions is that the motion must relate to a matter that is the direct responsibility of the Central Government. It cannot be invoked on matters that fall within the jurisdiction of a State Government, as the Union Parliament does not typically discuss state subjects through this device. Furthermore, the Speaker (the Chair) has the absolute discretion to give or refuse consent for moving the motion. Therefore, statement 3 is incorrect as it wrongly suggests the motion can cover State Government jurisdictions.
