NC, Congress Boycotts APC Meet on GST

SrinagarIn the previous meeting on this issue the chief minister committed that before any further meetings are called on this issue, the government would share its proposal and all supporting documents with the participants well in advance, National Conference on Saturday said.

NC spokesman told KNS that the government has failed to do so, making it impossible for All Party to finalise its stand on what the government is proposing. Therefore was not possible for our Party to attend this meeting.

Congress also refrained from the meeting convened on GST in Srinagar today citing the reason as non-serious attitude of the Govt with regard to implementation of GST. The Party also blamed PDP BJP coalition for being in a State of confusion over GST, as a result, the trade bodies in the entire state were in dilemma.

Party Spokesperson in a statement to KNS said that Congress Party has decided to refrain from the meeting, saying that Govt has failed to circulate draft proposal, as it was agreed that the draft resolution of GST would be circulated to Congress and other parties, enabling them (Opposition) to debate and discuss the GST at length inorder to evolve a consensus, but this is unfortunate that no such proposal from the Govt side has come out so far, which reflects that both PDP BJP are in a state of confusion and has no roadmap on GST.

Expressing surprise over the non-serious attitude of the Govt, the Party Spokesperson said that despite the pressing demand from opposition for draft proposal, nothing was done from the Govt Side, which has sent confusing signals among the entire political spectrum in the State.
