4. Protection of interests of minorities
Select the correct answer from the codes given below :
Explanation
The Right against Exploitation is a Fundamental Right guaranteed under Articles 23 and 24 of the Indian Constitution. Article 23 prohibits human trafficking and forced labour (begar), while Article 24 prohibits the employment of children (below 14 years) in factories, mines, and hazardous occupations. Therefore, statements 2 and 3 are correct.
- Statement 1: Abolition of untouchability is provided under Article 17, which falls under the Right to Equality (Articles 14–18).
- Statement 4: Protection of interests of minorities is provided under Article 29, which falls under Cultural and Educational Rights (Articles 29–30).
Since only statements 2 and 3 pertain to the Right against Exploitation, option A is the correct answer.
