NEW DELHI: Finance Minister Arun Jaitley today asked opposition parties such as Congress and the Left to reconsider their decision to skip the midnight GST launch tomorrow saying they were all consulted on the indirect tax reform and cannot run away from it.
“I hope every political party will reconsider and revisit its decision” on not participating in the launch event to be organised in the Central Hall of Parliament, he said.
The Government, he said, remains committed to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) as any other reform. “It is single most important taxation reform in 70 years.”
All decision on GST, including rules and tax rates, were taken in consultation with states and political parties must display broad shoulder and own up their responsibility, he said. (AGENCIES)
