Madurai: Minister PDR Palanivel Thiagarajan said that the Perarivalan release verdict and the GST verdict should be combined.
The apex court, which heard the appeal against the Gujarat High Court’s decision to quash the consolidated GST tax on sea goods, said, “Democracy and federalism in India are interdependent. The GST Council’s recommendation is only valid. State governments cannot be compelled.
Federal and state governments have an equal right to legislate on the GST issue. If the GST Council’s recommendations do not govern the state governments, it will affect the federal system of the country. “
Minister PDR Palanivel Thiagarajan told reporters in Madurai that the verdict should be linked to the Perarivalan release verdict and the GST verdict.
In an interview, he said, “The two subsequent judgments of the Supreme Court have taken away the rights of the state government and the legislature. This is a turning point. If the recommendation is not accepted by the States, there is no right to compel it.
GST till today. We continue to accept the recommendations of the Council. It is no longer legal for states to accept it. Will be for option only.
It is imperative that the Perarivalan acquittal verdict and the GST draft verdict be combined. There is an environment in which governments follow the decisions of the Council without enacting them into law, and the basic function of the GST Council is to err. “
