Article 88

D.
Article 77
Correct Answer:
C. Article 88
Explanation:
Article 88 of the Indian Constitution grants every Minister and the Attorney General of India the right to speak and participate in the proceedings of either House of Parliament, any joint sitting, or any committee to which they are appointed. This constitutional provision ensures that executive representatives can contribute to legislative debates and clarify policy matters even if they are not members of that specific House. However, it explicitly states that these individuals do not have the right to vote in such proceedings by virtue of this article alone. This helps maintain a balance between executive accountability and the voting rights of elected representatives.
