Question

The President of India has the power to nominate the following if the community is not adequately represented in the Lok Sabha.

• A. Two members belonging to Anglo-Indian community
• B. Two members belonging to the Scheduled Castes
• C. Two members belonging to the Backward classes
• D. Two members belonging to the Schedule Tribes

Answer 1

The correct option is A Two members belonging to Anglo-Indian community

One of the legislative powers of the President is the nomination of members. He nominates 12 members to the Rajya Sabha from among persons having special knowledge or practical experience in these matters- literature, science, art and social service. The President may nominate two members of the Anglo-Indian community to the Lok Sabha if he feels that the community is not adequately represented in the House.
