Correct Answer:
B. LM Singhvi
Explanation:
L.M. Singhvi, a renowned jurist and diplomat, characterized the Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP) as the life-giving provisions of the Indian Constitution. Found in Part IV (Articles 36 to 51), these principles serve as essential guidelines for the government to ensure social and economic justice. While they are non-justiciable, meaning they cannot be enforced by a court of law, they are fundamental to the country's governance and aim to establish India as a welfare state. Singhvi emphasized that these directives form the core ethos of the Constitution and its commitment to social justice. Other notable figures also provided descriptions: B.R. Ambedkar called them novel features and the soul of the Constitution, while Granville Austin referred to them and Fundamental Rights together as the conscience of the Constitution.
