Who among the following can participate in the proceedings of both the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha?
-
A.
Speaker of Lok Sabha
-
B.
Vice-President of India
-
C.
Attorney General of India
-
D.
Comptroller and Auditor General
Correct Answer:
C. Attorney General of India
Explanation:
The Attorney General of India is the correct answer because, according to Article 88 of the Indian Constitution, they have the right to speak and participate in the proceedings of either House (Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha), any joint sitting of the Houses, and any committee of Parliament of which they may be named a member. However, despite this participation, the Attorney General does not have the right to vote. In contrast, the Speaker of the Lok Sabha only presides over the Lower House, the Vice-President of India serves as the ex-officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, and the Comptroller and Auditor General does not have a constitutional mandate to participate in parliamentary debates.
