Answer 1

The above statement is False. 1. Even though the government of the majority community comes to power, it should adhere to the democratic principle that government should work for the welfare of all communities. 2. In democracy, opinion of all the communities should be valued instead of giving importance only to the majority community. 3. All religious, linguistics, ethnic and caste groups should be part of the decision-making process of the government. Hence, to avoid injustice to minorities their opinion should also be taken into consideration.
