Explanation:

Under Article 352, the President can declare a national emergency when the security of India or a part of it is threatened by war or external aggression or armed rebellion (but not on the ground of ‘internal disturbance’).The President can proclaim a national emergency only after receiving a written recommendation from the cabinet.This means that the emergency can be declared only on the concurrence of the cabinet and not merely on the advice of the prime minister.
