March 25, 2025

THE Opposition and the treasury Benches locked horns in Lok Sabha on Monday over issues such as US tariff, GST and fund allocation for states during a debate on the Finance Bill 2025.

- PREETHA NAIR @ New Delhi

Initiating the debate on the Finance Bill, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor criticized it, calling it a "classic case of patchwork" and labeling India's GST as the "most complex tax" in the world.

On the other hand, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra accused the government of favoring crony capitalists over small businesses and workers.

Meanwhile, senior BJP leader Anurag Thakur recalled that Mughal emperors Babur and Aurangzeb had imposed jizya on Hindus, accusing opposition parties of appeasing Muslims.
