Who made this statement that “the Directive Principles of State Policy are like Bank Cheque whose payment is done by bank at his own will”? A. K.T.Shah B. K.M.Munshi C. B.R.Ambedkar D. Austin

K.T.Shah
K.M.Munshi
B.R.Ambedkar
Austin

The correct answer is B. K.M. Munshi.

K.M. Munshi was a freedom fighter, lawyer, and politician who played a major role in the drafting of the Indian Constitution. He was a member of the Constituent Assembly and was the chairman of the Drafting Committee.

In the Constituent Assembly, Munshi was a strong advocate for the inclusion of Directive Principles of State Policy in the Constitution. He argued that these principles would provide a framework for the government to achieve social and economic justice for all citizens.

Munshi also argued that the Directive Principles were not just aspirational goals, but were binding on the government. He said that the government had a duty to take steps to implement these principles, even if it did not have the power to do so through legislation.

Munshi’s views on the Directive Principles were controversial at the time, but they have since been vindicated. The Supreme Court has held that the Directive Principles are fundamental to the governance of the country and that the government has a duty to take steps to implement them.

The other options are incorrect.

A. K.T. Shah was a freedom fighter and economist who was also a member of the Constituent Assembly. He was not a strong advocate for the inclusion of Directive Principles in the Constitution.

C. B.R. Ambedkar was a jurist, economist, politician, and social reformer who was also a member of the Constituent Assembly. He was a strong advocate for the inclusion of Directive Principles in the Constitution, but he did not compare them to bank cheques.

D. Austin was a British political scientist who wrote a book on the Indian Constitution. He did not make the statement that “the Directive Principles of State Policy are like Bank Cheque whose payment is done by bank at his own will”.
