INDIA bloc protests against GST on health and life insurance

INDIA bloc protest in Parliament

New Delhi: The INDIA bloc leaders held a protest against the Centre outside the Makar Dwar in the Parliament on Tuesday, demanding the roll back of 18 percent GST on health and life insurance.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi also joined the protest.

Congress MP Jebi Mather said that no GST should be applied to health and life insurance. She further added that this decision of the government reflects no respect for human faith.

Mather said, "Now, the central government has imposed 18 percent GST on the insurance, which is taken by the poor as a solace. This decision by the government just reflects that there is no respect for human faith and the India bloc stands united in demanding a rollback of the GST on insurance." (with Agency inputs)
