Rajya Sabha panel doesn’t allot time for GST Bill
New Delhi:Even as the government plans to bring the Goods and Services Tax Bill next week in the Rajya Sabha, no time was allotted for it by the upper house’s Business Advisory Committee on Thursday.
According to sources, there is still a lack of consensus between the Bharatiya Janata Party and the opposition Congress on the passage of the bill in the Rajya Sabha, where the government is in a minority.
The bill has already been passed by the Lok Sabha.
More discussions are to take place between the two in the coming days, sources said.
Meanwhile, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley reached out to other opposition parties on Thursday as he met leaders from the Left, Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi Party and Biju Janata Dal.
Leaders from these parties urged the minister to create a provision for the states to earn revenue after the GST is in place.
The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved key changes in the proposed legislation, including dropping the proposed one per cent additional tax on inter-state sale.
The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.
Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.
The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards. The youth of Goa exhibited their unwavering support for the community, making the party an unequivocal success.
