GST is a move to free nation from tax terrorism: Modi
"Today, an important move to free the nation from tax terrorism has begun," Modi said in the Lok Sabha.
Defining GST, the Prime Minister said: "Great Step by Team India, Great Step towards Transformation, Great Steps towards Transparency, this is GST."
"Lot of flaws have been overcome as far as the GST is concerned," he said.
Modi, who had earlier served as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, said he could realize the troubles faced by the CMs with regard to the GST.
"Having been a CM, now it became easier for me to address issues that CMs could have faced with the GST," he said.
Calling small business as the strength of the nation, Modi said: "Consumer & small businesses will gain tremendously. Small business will feel more secure with this. Small business is our strength."
The Bill, passed in the Lok Sabha in May 2015, was sent back to the lower house to ratify the amendments cleared in the Rajya Sabha.
