Explanation:

Recently, Prime Minister of India expressed grief over the passing away of Kesavananda Bharati Ji. Kesavananda Bharati was the head seer of the Edneer Mutt in Kasaragod district of Kerala since 1961. He left his signature in one of the significant rulings of the Supreme Court when he challenged the Kerala land reforms legislation in 1970.

The theory of Basic Structure was given in the case of Kesavananda Bharati V/S State Of Kerala.
Basic Structure doctrine has not been mentioned in the constitution. It was a judicial invention.
It aims to protect the basic rights of the people and the ideals and the philosophy of the constitution.
The doctrine forms the basis of power of the Indian judiciary to review and override amendments to the Constitution of India enacted by the Indian parliament.

Hence both statements are incorrect.
