💡 Analysis & Explanation
Evaluating the Amendments ▼
We must cross-reference the major constitutional amendments with Part IV (Directive Principles of State Policy) of the Indian Constitution. The 42nd Amendment added multiple directives like equal justice (39A) and environmental protection (48A). The 86th Amendment radically altered Article 45, shifting focus to early childhood care. The 97th Amendment formally inserted Article 43B, dedicated strictly to promoting cooperative societies.
Identifying the Anomaly ▼
In stark contrast, the 48th Amendment Act of 1984 dealt exclusively with an entirely different mechanism of governance. It was passed explicitly to enable the temporary extension of President's Rule specifically in the politically volatile state of Punjab.
Conclusion ▼
Thus, the 48th Amendment Act completely bypassed and left untouched the Directive Principles.
