He has said that the SGPC had been condemning the move from very first day and will keep on doing so.
Taking on Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, Prof. Kirpal Singh Badungar said that it was very unfortunate that the Finance Minister provided relaxation to a certain category of businesses on their request but did not accept the request of SGPC to waive off GST on Langar of Sikh shrines.
Prof. Badungar said that he will once again appeal the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley by writing a letter to waive off GST on Langar of Sikh shrines.
According to estimates, the SGPC is likely to bear an extra financial burden of 100 million rupees, for the purchase of desi ghee (butter), sugar and beans. Sources have informed that the GST rates for these items are 12%, 18% and 5% respectively and that the SGPC currently spends an average of Rupees 700 to 800 million on these products annually.
Bhramindustan gov’t jealous of the Sikhs unparalleled, incomparable, amazing WORLDWIDE reputation of providing free langar which is welcomed to any human being on this earth without discrimination, even to the “low caste” hindus the so-called “priest caste” hindus have shunned.
