Congress slams govt as eatery owner ‘apologises’ to Finance Minister
The Congress on Friday slammed the government over a video of a restaurant chain owner purportedly apologising to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman for voicing concerns about GST. The Opposition party also demanded an apology from Nirmala over the issue.
Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge hit out at Sitharaman, saying that the “disgraceful humiliation” of the owner of Sree Annapoorna restaurant chain smacked of “arrogance of power” and the minister “has been a repeat offender in such public interactions”. As the video of the incident went viral, Tamil Nadu BJP chief K Annamalai apologised on behalf of party’s state unit.
