Consider the following statements: 1. The President of India can summon a session of the Parliament at such place as he/she thinks fit. 2. The Constitution of India provides for three sessions of the Parliament in a year, but it is not mandatory to conduct all three sessions. 3. There is no minimum number of days that the Parliament is required to meet in a year. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

1. Correct. Under Article 85, the President summons each House of Parliament to meet at such time and place as he thinks fit.

2. Incorrect. The Constitution does not provide for three sessions in a year. It only mandates that not more than six months shall intervene between two sessions.

Hence, statements 1 and 3 only are correct.
