New Delhi, Aug. 16 -- After Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced reforms on Goods and Services Tax (GST), Congress has demanded an official discussion paper for an informed and wider debate on it.

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh, in a statement, laid down the party's demand, saying that GST should be truly a Good and Simple Tax, not "Growth Suppressing Tax.

"The Indian National Congress demands an official discussion paper on GST 2.0 very soon so that there can be an informed and wider debate on this vital and pressing national issue. GST 2.0 should be truly a Good and Simple Tax (GST) in letter, spirit, and compliance, not like the Growth Suppressing Tax (GST) it has become," Jairam Ramesh said.
