Explanation:

- Statement 1: It's not quite accurate. Parliament has the power to make laws enforcing Fundamental Rights, but state legislatures can also play a role in enacting certain laws concerning state subjects that can relate to enforcement.

- Statement 2: Here’s where the rubber meets the road. Fundamental Rights cannot be curtailed or repealed just like that. Any amendment to Fundamental Rights must be made by a constitutional amendment, requiring a special majority in Parliament, not by regular legislation.

: Both 1 and 2 are not correct.
