Chandigarh: Punjab cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu, and Akali leader and former
minister Bikram Singh Majithia today engaged in a spat over the issue of
GST on 'langar' in the Punjab Assembly, forcing the Speaker to adjourn
the House.
A day after Punjab government decided to waive its
share in GST imposed on the purchases made for 'langar' (community
kitchen) at the Golden Temple, the opposition SAD informed the House
that Finance Minister Arun Jaitley had assured the Akalis to forego the
Centre's share in the Goods and Services Tax on items used for 'langar'.
