Explanation

Article 33 empowers Parliament to restrict or modify fundamental rights (including Articles 14 and 19) for members of armed forces, paramilitary forces, intelligence agencies, etc. This ensures maintenance of discipline and proper discharge of duties. The restriction must be through parliamentary law, not executive discretion or army leadership.
