The Congress on 29 June decided to keep away from the special midnight 30 June meeting convened by the government on GST implementation.
The decision came after Congress President Sonia Gandhi met former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh along with other leaders. Other parties like TMC, SP, RJD and DMK sided with the Congress and decided to skip the meeting.
What do you think about the Opposition’s decision?
Some leaders opposing it feel that the GST is being implemented in a haste and all aspects have not been taken into consideration leading to harassment of small traders and businessmen and thus, the party should abstain.
