What is the first hour of every Parliamentary sitting in the Lok Sabha called ?
Question Hour
Under the Rules of Procedure and Conduct of Business in Lok Sabha, the first hour of every sitting is set apart for asking and answering questions; this slot is called Question Hour.
During this hour members ask starred, unstarred and short-notice questions, and ministers answer them, which makes it a key tool for holding the executive accountable.
Zero Hour begins right after Question Hour and is an informal Indian innovation; a half-an-hour discussion is held on matters arising from answers, usually at the end of a sitting; an Adjournment Motion is a device to raise an urgent matter and is not a time slot at the start of the sitting.
Question Hour option is correct.
