The resolution for removing the Vice-president of India can be moved in the:
- ALok Sabha alone
- BEither House of Parliament
- CJoint Sitting of Parliament
- DRajya Sabha aloneCorrect
Explanation
The correct answer is D because according to Article 67 b of the Constitution of India, a resolution for the removal of the Vice President must be initiated only in the Rajya Sabha. This is because the Vice President serves as the ex officio Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. While the resolution must be passed by the Rajya Sabha by an effective majority, it also requires the agreement of the Lok Sabha by a simple majority to be effective. However, the process cannot originate in the Lok Sabha.
