SRINAGAR: With just 36 hours left for the implementation of Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the country, Jammu and Kashmir PDP-BJP coalition Government is making last efforts to bring opposition onboard on the issue, calling All-Party Consultative Group (APCG) meeting here this afternoon.
The opposition, particularly National Conference (NC) and Congress besides Communist Party of India (M) are opposing the implementation of GST in its present form, alleging it will have far reaching negative impact on the financial and political autonomy of the state.
The earlier meeting of APCG on the issue could not yield any result after NC and Congress stayed away, alleging that they were not provided any draft proposal of GST by the Government.
However, CPI (M) and some other opposition MLAs and leaders participated in the meeting, demanding safeguard of the financial and political autonomy of the state.
This time the Government is hopeful that the APCG will reach consensus as they have already provided the draft proposal on the tax regime to opposition political parties. (UNI)
