Explanation:

Article 19(2) provides that reasonable restrictions can be imposed on exercise of Freedom of Speech and expression under the following conditions: the sovereignty and integrity of India, the security of the State, friendly relations with foreign States, public order, decency or morality, or in relation to contempt of court, defamation or incitement to an offence.

Leaking classified material by Intelligence officer. - can compromise security of state
Giving speech to take up arms - public order
Speech which can hamper stability of government in Lok Sabha - it does not fall under any criteria and hence would not be a reasonable restriction
Contempt of Court.
