Explanation

Statement 1 is correct because the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971 explicitly covers the National Flag, Constitution, and National Anthem. Statement 2 is incorrect because Fundamental Duties under Article 51A are non-enforceable unless backed by specific parliamentary legislation. Thus, only statement 1 is correct.
