    Solution

    Revocation of National Emergency: Under Article 352(8), Lok Sabha enjoys continuous control over emergency. If 1/10th of the members of the Lok Sabha write to the Speaker (or President, if house is not in session) for the revocation of the emergency, it becomes obligatory on the Speaker (or President) to convene a special session of the Lok Sabha within 14 days. If a resolution is passed in the Lok Sabha against the National Emergency, the President is bound to revoke it
