During National Emergency, the enforcement of all Fundamental Rights can be suspended by Presidential order under Article 359.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer: False

Article 359: President may suspend enforcement of Fundamental Rights (except Articles 20 & 21) during Emergency via order. 44th Amendment (1978) made Articles 20 (protection in conviction) and 21 (life & personal liberty) non-suspendable even during Emergency. So, not 'all' FRs can be suspended; core rights remain protected.
