Explanation

As a result of the 44th amendment of the constitution, it is no more possible to declare national emergency on the grounds of internal disturbances. Instead it can be declared on the grounds of armed rebellion. The proclamation of a war emergency cannot be made by the president unless the Union cabinet gives him in written that such proclamation should be made.
