With reference to the Parliament of India, consider the following statements: 1. A private member's bill is a bill presented by a Member of Parliament who is not elected but only nominated by the President of India. 2. Recently, a private member's bill has been passed in the Parliament of India for the first time in its history. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Statement 1 is incorrect: A private member's bill is a bill introduced by any Member of Parliament who is not a minister, regardless of whether they are elected or nominated. The term 'private member' simply distinguishes them from a 'government bill' which is introduced by a minister. Statement 2 is incorrect: Private member's bills have been passed in the Parliament of India on several occasions since independence, although it is a rare occurrence. Thus, it is not true that a private member's bill was recently passed for the first time in its history. Several such bills have become Acts, including the Supreme Court (Enlargement of Criminal Appellate Jurisdiction) Bill, 1968, and the Salaries and Allowances of Leaders of Opposition in Parliament Bill, 1977. Since both statements are incorrect, the correct answer is D.
