A bill of rights

• During our freedom struggle, the leaders of the freedom movement realised the importance of rights and demanded that the British rulers should respect the rights of the people.
• The Motilal Nehru committee had demanded a bill of rights as far back as in 1928. Hence, Statement 1 is not correct.
• It prohibits the government from thus acting against the rights of the individuals and ensures a remedy in case there is a violation of these rights. Hence, Statement 2 is correct.
• The government can put reasonable restrictions on fundamental rights. Hence, Statement 3 is not correct.
