– Statement 2 is false: While the Truman Doctrine (1947) is often considered a starting point of the Cold War, the Khrushchev Thaw (mid-1950s) was a period of slightly improved relations and reduced repression within the Soviet Union and its bloc; it did not mark the end of the Cold War. The Cold War lasted until the early 1990s.
– Statement 3 is false: The Cold War was intensely ideological. It was a conflict between the capitalist-democratic system championed by the US and the communist system led by the USSR, in addition to being a superpower confrontation.

– Statement 1 (Freedom from arrest in criminal cases) is **not** a privilege. Parliamentary privilege from arrest applies only to civil cases, not criminal cases or preventive detention.
– Statement 2 (Freedom from arrest under a Law of Preventive Detention) is also generally **not** a privilege providing immunity from arrest. Like criminal cases, MPs are not immune from arrest under preventive detention laws.
– Statement 3 (Freedom of speech within the walls of the House) **is** a fundamental privilege (Article 105(1) and immunity from court proceedings under Article 105(2)).
– Statement 4 (Freedom not to give evidence as witness, unless permitted by the House) **is** generally considered a privilege; a member cannot be compelled to attend as a witness in court during a session.
– Based on standard legal understanding, statements 3 and 4 are privileges, while 1 and 2 are not. This makes all provided options flawed as none lists 3 and 4 together, and options C and D include incorrect statements (2 in C, 1 and 2 in D). However, if forced to choose from the options and assuming C is the intended answer (as indicated by some sources), it suggests a specific, non-standard interpretation where statement 2 is considered a privilege alongside 3, and 4 is not considered a privilege. Statement 3 is undoubtedly a privilege.

Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!

UPSC CISF-AC-EXE – 2019
– Statement A is true: Mikhail Gorbachev authored a book titled “Perestroika: New Thinking for Our Country and the World” explaining his reforms.
– Statement B is true: Perestroika sought to reform the existing socialist system, not abolish it, and was critical of the centralized, authoritarian aspects associated with Stalin’s rule (anti-Stalinist but not anti-socialist).
– Statement D is true: Gorbachev often invoked the ideals of Lenin, particularly his New Economic Policy (NEP), to justify market-oriented reforms and decentralization as a return to true Leninist principles that had been distorted by later Soviet leaders.
– Statement C is false: Perestroika was a policy aimed at reforming the Soviet Union itself. The Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) was formed in December 1991 *after* the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a process that the failure of Perestroika to revitalize the USSR arguably accelerated. Perestroika did not aim to create the CIS; the CIS emerged as a successor entity after the USSR collapsed.
