Statement 1 is incorrect because the ‘Objectives Resolution’ was moved by Jawaharlal Nehru in the Constituent Assembly. Statement 2 is correct because Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, who was the Law Minister of India at that time, served as the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constitution.
The Objectives Resolution outlined the guiding principles and philosophy for the Constitution of independent India. The Drafting Committee, under the chairmanship of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, was responsible for preparing the draft of the Constitution.
