  • Question
  • Statement: Should the government ban all forms of protests including strikes and processions?

    Arguments:

    1. Yes. This is the only way to teach discipline to the employees.
    2. No. Government cannot deprive its citizens of their basic rights.
    3. Yes. This is the only way to ensure maximum productivity without disruption of work.


  • Options
  • A. None is strong
  • B. Only I and II are strong
  • C. Only II and III are strong
  • D. Only I and III are strong
  • E. All are strong

  • Correct Answer
  • Only II and III are strong 

    Explanation
    Clearly, strike is not a means of indiscipline but only a practice in which the workers exercise their fundamental right to voice their protest against the atrocities of the management. So, argument I is vague while II holds. Also, the option of resorting to strikes often aggravates petty issues and disrupts work for long periods, thus affecting productivity. So, III also holds strong.
