Which motion can be moved against an individual minister or the entire Council of Ministers for failing to fulfill their duties or committing grave lapses?

A. No-Confidence Motion
B. Censure Motion✓ Correct Answer
C. Adjournment Motion
D. Calling Attention Motion

💡 Solution & Explanation

A Censure Motion can be moved against an individual minister or the entire Council of Ministers to express strong disapproval of administrative failures or policy lapses. Unlike a No-Confidence Motion, passing a Censure Motion does not compel the government to resign from office. It highlights specific administrative shortcomings and forces parliamentary debate on executive accountability.
