General KnowledgeIndian Polity and Governance
- ATo discuss State matters
- BTo discuss issues of the use of police force in suppressing the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities
- CTo discuss issues in dealing with violent disturbances in an Undertaking under the control of the Union Government
- DTo discuss issues for putting down the demands of the industrial labour
Explanation
Parliament does not ordinarily discuss matters in the State List ('state matters') such as ordinary state administration, so statement 1 is correct. However, it can discuss the use of central forces in a state (a national concern under Article 355), the affairs of Union government undertakings, and labour matters, since labour is in the Concurrent List. Hence statements 2, 3 and 4 are not correct descriptions of what Parliament cannot discuss, making '1 only' the answer.
