Which one of the following statements is not correct?

Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

In the Indian parliamentary system, a censure motion is a tool used to express disapproval of specific policies or actions of the government. According to parliamentary rules and conventions, a censure motion can be moved against an individual minister, a group of ministers, or the entire Council of Ministers [2]. This flexibility distinguishes it from a no-confidence motion, which can only be moved against the entire Council of Ministers and not against individual members [1]. Therefore, the statement claiming that a censure motion cannot be moved against the entire Council of Ministers is incorrect [2]. While a no-confidence motion requires the government to resign if passed, a censure motion does not mandate resignation, although it may compel the government to seek a fresh vote of confidence to prove its majority [1].
