- Statement 1: The Inter-State Council is established under Article 263 of the Constitution of India, which empowers the President to constitute such a body. This statement is correct. - Statement 2: Article 263 states that the President may establish such a Council if at any time it appears to him that the public interests would be served. This makes it a constitutional body but not a permanent one in the sense of being mandatorily required to exist at all times by the Constitution (unlike, for example, the Election Commission or Finance Commission). While it has been constituted and is a standing body since 1990, classifying it as a "permanent constitutional body" is generally considered inaccurate in comparison to bodies whose existence is explicitly mandated as permanent by the Constitution. This statement is incorrect. - Statement 3: The Prime Minister of India is the Chairman of the Inter-State Council. This is explicitly stated in the order constituting the Council. This statement is correct.
Consider the following statements: 1. The Inter-State Council is established under Article 263 of the Constitution of India. 2. The Inter-State Council is a permanent constitutional body. 3. The Prime Minister of India is the Chairman of the Inter-State Council. Which of the statements given above are correct?
