Statement: Should we scrap the 'public Distribution System' in India ? Arguments: (I) Yes. Protectionism is over, everyone must get bread on his/her own. (II) Yes. The poor do not get any benefit because of corruption. |
|||||||||
Answer: Option D Explanation: The Public Distribution System is indeed necessary to provide basic amenities to the economically backward sections of population. So, argument I is vague. Also, if the objectives of a system are not fulfilled because of corruption, then getting rid of the system is no solution. Instead, efforts should be made to end corruption and extend its benefits to the people for which it is meant. So, argument II also does not hold. |
