Consider the legislative privileges enjoyed by Members of Parliament from Arunachal Pradesh during parliamentary sessions: 1. Freedom of speech in Parliament is guaranteed under Article 105. 2. Members are liable to court proceedings for anything said or any vote given in Parliament or any committee thereof. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because Article 105(1) secures freedom of speech in Parliament for all MPs, including those from Arunachal Pradesh. Statement 2 is incorrect because Article 105(2) explicitly protects members from any liability to proceedings in any court in respect of anything said or any vote given by them in Parliament or any committee. These privileges ensure fearless debate and legislative independence.
