💡 Analysis & Explanation
Statement 1 Analysis ▼
Incorrect. Article 88 of the Constitution specifically grants the right to speak and take part in parliamentary proceedings solely to Ministers and the Attorney General of India. The Solicitor General does not enjoy this constitutional privilege.
Statement 2 Analysis ▼
Incorrect. While convention often dictates that the Attorney General resigns upon a change in government (as they are appointed on the advice of the ruling council), the Constitution itself contains no such explicit provision linking their tenure strictly to the government's survival.
Conclusion ▼
Both statements contain fundamental constitutional inaccuracies.
