On Tuesday, leaders of the INDIA alliance staged a protest outside the Makar Dwar in Parliament, demanding the rollback of the 18% GST on health and life insurance. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi joined the demonstration, with Congress MP Jebi Mather criticizing the government for showing "no respect for human faith" with the tax. TMC MP Sudip Bandyopadhyay also condemned the GST, calling it "anti-people" and urging its immediate removal. Protests are expected to continue, with calls for Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to address the issue.
