The correct answer is option 2, which states that statement 2 is correct and statement 1 is incorrect.

Statement 1 states that parliamentary committees are a subset of the Council of Ministers. This statement is incorrect. Parliamentary committees are separate entities from the Council of Ministers. Parliamentary committees are groups of Members of Parliament (MPs) who are appointed to perform specific functions like examining bills, conducting inquiries, and overseeing the functioning of government departments. The Council of Ministers, on the other hand, consists of senior ministers who are responsible for the overall governance of the country.

Statement 2 states that parliamentary committees are responsible for scrutinizing legislative and constitutional amendment bills. This statement is correct. Parliamentary committees play a crucial role in the legislative process by reviewing bills in detail, analyzing their provisions, and suggesting changes or amendments. This scrutiny ensures that bills are thoroughly examined before they are passed into law, and helps in improving the quality and effectiveness of legislation.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2, which states that statement 2 is correct and statement 1 is incorrect.
