It is an extraordinary device that, if admitted and passed, leads to a censure of the government. Question Hour is the first hour of every parliamentary sitting, where Members of Parliament ask questions to ministers, who are required to answer, making them accountable for their actions. Supplementary questions are follow-up questions asked by members immediately after the minister&#8217;s initial answer during the Question Hour or discussion, aimed at seeking further clarification or information. All these methods are part of parliamentary procedure to ensure executive accountability.<br \/>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Parliament of India exercises control over the functions of the Council of Ministers through 1.
