Question Hour  

As opposition parties try to corner Modi government over cancellation of question hour in upcoming monsoon session, it is to be noted that several state assemblies have cancelled their own question hours 
 

The concerns of the opposition parties over the proposal of not having the Question Hour during the forthcoming Monsoon Session of the Parliament has made headlines in the media. However, a reality check revealed that this spirit of commitment to Question Hour, given its importance as stated by the opposition did not reflect in the House during the five-year period of 2015-2019

 The issue of the Centre’s decision not to have question hours during the upcoming Parliament session has made the opposition question it. But truth to tell, such abolitions are nothing new 

Responding to supplementaries during the Question Hour in the Lok Sabha, the minister of state for youth affairs and sports Kiren Rijiju said kabaddi is an indigenous sport and that the government would make efforts to take it to the Olympics

Consumer Affairs Minister Ram Vilas Paswan has said that from June 1 2020, the 'One Nation, One Ration Card' scheme will be implemented nationwide. 
During the Question Hour in Lok Sabha on 3rd December Paswan gave this information. He said that at present the facility of Point of Sale POS machines for ration cards has been started in 14 states. It will be started in other states soon. This would be made available after biometric/Aadhaar authentication on ePoS (electronic Point of Sale) devices.
 

This is the second day in a row during the current session of Parliament that the Rajya Sabha failed to transact any business
 

During the Question Hour, defence minister Rajnath Singh said, the AN-32 plane of Indian Air Force (IAF) that crashed in Arunachal Pradesh killing all 13 personnel on board was completely airworthy
