Shortly after INDIA bloc parties held a protest on the steps leading up to the Makar Dwar of Parliament, Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday said it was “not appropriate” and reminded members to abide by the “consensus” reached earlier of not holding any demonstration at the entrance.
INDIA bloc parties held a protest on the Parliament premises to press for the rollback of 18 per cent GST on life and health insurance premiums.
MPs from parties such as the Trinamool Congress (TMC), Congress, AAP and NCP-Sharadchandra Pawar, among others, participated in the protest on the steps leading to the Makar Dwar.
Carrying placards reading “Tax terrorism”, the protesting MPs raised slogans demanding that the GST on life and health insurance premiums be rolled back.
