Nagpur, Jun 16 (UNI) Supporting the stand taken by Congress president Sonia Gandhi against central government's decision to increase fuel prices during the Covid-19 crisis, the former Cabinet Minister Dr Anees Ahmed hike is wholly "insensitive and ill-advised".
Mr Ahmed said it is a parodox that on the one hand the government wants its citizens to be “Atma Nirbhar” and on the other hand affecting them with unwarranted expenses.
The former minister called for the government to bring the fuels under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) and also urged it to pass the benefit of lower crude prices to the people.
