A war of words has erupted between AAP and the Congress over a “communication” of the Finance Department regarding a proposed tax of Rs 200 per month on pensioners.
The entire controversy started after a communication, issued on June 22 by the Finance Department, went viral on social media. It cited the department’s nod to charge Rs 200 per month as the Punjab State Development Tax from the pensioners in the state.
Reacting to the development, Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Vidhan Sabha Partap Singh Bajwa on Thursday lambasted the AAP government.
Bajwa said after increasing VAT on petrol and diesel for the second time and enhancing electricity rates, the government had now proposed a new tax.
