Explanation:

Both statements provided are incorrect.

The Second Buddhist Council was not organized by Ashoka, but took place at Vaisali around 100 years after the Buddha's death. Ashoka's reign came later, and he was more associated with the Third Buddhist Council.

Ashoka’s Dharma was not a narrow or sectarian faith. Instead, it was a set of moral and ethical guidelines aimed at promoting social harmony and cohesion. Ashoka promoted tolerance and respect among different religious groups and aimed to create a moralistic and just society.
