The producer of Kaun Banega Crorepati, Siddhartha Basu, was quick to respond to a netizen who tweeted that a ‘wrong’ question was asked in Monday’s episode of KBC 13. Siddhartha said there was ‘no error whatsoever.’ A KBC viewer by the name Ashish Chaturvedi tweeted, “Wrong question and answer in today’s episode of @KBCsony Have followed several sessions on TV. Normally sitting in #LokSabha begins with Zero Hour and sitting in #RajyaSabha begins with Question Hour. Please get it checked. “

To this, Siddhartha Basu replied, “No error whatsoever. Kindly check the handbooks for members of the Lok Sabha & Rajya Sabha for yourself. In both houses, unless otherwise directed by the speaker/chairperson, sittings conventionally begin with Question Hour, followed by Zero Hour.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
