Correct Answer
B The objective resolution of the Indian constitution was laid by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.
Model Answer
- On 13 December 1946, Jawaharlal Nehru introduced the “Objectives Resolution” in the Constituent Assembly.
- It was a momentous resolution that outlined the defining ideals of the Constitution of Independent India.
- It was the framework within which the work of constitution-making was to proceed.
- It proclaimed India to be an “Independent Sovereign Republic”, and guaranteed its citizens justice, equality, and freedom
- It assured that adequate safeguards shall be provided for minorities, backward and tribal areas, and Depressed and Other Backward Classes.
- Thus, we can say that the objective resolution of the Indian constitution was not laid by Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar. Hence, option B is incorrect.
Additional Information
- Both H.C. Mukherjee and V.T. Krishnamachari were elected as Vice-Presidents of the Assembly.
- Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha who was the oldest member at that time was elected as the temporary or interim President of the Assembly, following the French practice.
