JAMMU, July 3: President, Dogra Brahman Pratinidi Sabha (DBPS) J&K, Ved Parkash Sharma today expressed deep concern over the non- implementation of GST in the J&K State and urged upon the Prime Minister to take all much needed measures for implementing the same without any further delay.
Expressing anguish over the fact that Jammu & Kashmir State is on the brink of economic catastrophe with supply of essential commodities getting blocked, Sharma said some quarters are busy in invoking useless articles and ideology and the same will not help or succeed.
Interacting with media persons here today, Sharma opined that State can ill afford not be under one nation, one tax regime. Jammu traders are already on board, therefore there should be no reason why it cannot get implemented. In fact it is a win win situation for traders and consumers, he added.
Replying to another question, Sharma said that complexities if any can be taken care of later. The special session of State legislature on Tuesday will pave the way for the introduction of this revolutionary tax regime in the State.
He appealed to all political parties to rise above petty political considerations and appreciate the land mark decision that has been implemented under the able leadership of Prime Minister, Modi.
Sharma has extended total support to traders organizations of Jammu along with industrialists who are spearheading the implementation of GST in J&K State.
Those who were present on the occasion included VM Magotra, Nanak Chand Sharma, Madan Lal Sharma, Satyanand Sharma, Subash Shastri, Surinder Sharma, Shiv Ram Sharma, Jagan Nath Sharma, Krishan Lal Sharma, Gurdass Sharma, Shanti Saroop Baru, Mohan Lal Sharma, Romesh Sharma, Sat Paul Sharma, Mohan Lal Sharma and others.
