Consider the following statements:
  1. The President of India can summon a session of the
  2. The Constitution of India provides for three sessions
  3. There is no minimum number of days that the
Parliament is required to meet in a year. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Explanation

The correct option is 1 and 3 only because the President of India indeed has the authority to summon a session of Parliament at any location they deem appropriate, reflecting the flexibility in constitutional governance. Additionally, while the Constitution mentions that Parliament should meet at least twice a year, it does not prescribe a minimum number of days for which it must convene, allowing for the possibility of very brief sessions. However, the Constitution only stipulates that there should be at least two sessions per year, making statement 2 incorrect.
