Theater exponent Prasanna heading the Grama Seva Sangha as guide is staging a protest on the handmade goods covered by GST by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It was 4th day of protest of Prasanna.
The poor people depending on handicrafts work are deeply affected with this GST. There was no tax for such workers. The uniform tax covering such people is a worrying factor. Do not hit on the poor people stated Prasanna addressing the media.
In the GST meeting on November 5, the zero tax should be announced to this type of poor people and go ahead with the principles laid down by Dr B R Ambedkar urged Prasanna.
There are 200 goods that come under handmade. Prof Ashis Nandi committee has given report regarding this status. On the protest taken up by Prasanna theatre activist the Siddaganga Math has also extended support and urged for zero percent interest on such handmade commodities.
