[amp_mcq option1=”Election Commission” option2=”President” option3=”Parliament” option4=”Parliament & Assemblies” correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is C. Parliament.
The Constitution of India, Article 11, states that “Parliament may make provision for the acquisition and termination of citizenship, and for the rights of citizenship of persons who are born in India or who have been naturalized in India.”
The Election Commission is an independent constitutional body that is responsible for conducting elections to the Parliament and the state legislatures. The President is the head of state of India and is elected by an electoral college consisting of members of the Parliament and the state legislatures.
The Parliament is the supreme legislative body of India and is composed of the Lok Sabha (the lower house) and the Rajya Sabha (the upper house). The Parliament has the power to make laws on all matters except those that are specifically reserved for the state legislatures.
The Assemblies are the legislative bodies of the states of India. The Assemblies have the power to make laws on all matters except those that are specifically reserved for the Parliament.
Therefore, the only body that has the power to prescribe conditions for acquisition of citizenship is Parliament.
