Protection of the interests of minorities 4. Prohibition of employment of children in factories and mines Select the correct answer using the code given below:

The Right against Exploitation is enshrined in Articles 23 and 24 of the Indian Constitution. Let's examine which of the given points are envisaged by this right: 1. Prohibition of traffic in human beings and forced labour: This is explicitly covered under Article 23(1) of the Constitution, which prohibits 'traffic in human beings and begar and other similar forms of forced labour'. So, this statement is correct. 2. Abolition of untouchability: This is covered under Article 17, which falls under the 'Right to Equality' (Articles 14-18), not the Right against Exploitation. So, this statement is incorrect. 3. Protection of the interests of minorities: This is covered under Articles 29 and 30, which fall under 'Cultural and Educational Rights', not the Right against Exploitation. So, this statement is incorrect. 4. Prohibition of employment of children in factories and mines: This is explicitly covered under Article 24, which states, 'No child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed to work in any factory or mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment.' So, this statement is correct. Therefore, only statements 1 and 4 are envisaged by the Right against Exploitation.
