A Correct answer
Explanation

The Nehru Report (1928) did include secular character of the state as a fundamental right, making statement 1 correct. However, statement 2 is incorrect because the Nehru Report actually rejected the idea of linguistic redistribution of provinces - it favored administrative convenience over linguistic considerations. This issue would later be championed by the Congress after independence.
