SRINAGAR: PDP president Mehbooba Mufti on Wednesday alleged that AAP MLA Mehraj Malik was made a scapegoat to divert attention from the Hazratbal emblem controversy in Jammu and Kashmir. Malik, who is also the president of the J-K unit of AAP, was detained on Monday under the stringent law for allegedly disturbing public order in Doda district and was subsequently lodged in Kathua district jail. Speaking with reporters at the party headquarters here, the former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir said, Religious sentiments were hurt in Hazratbal. Instead of apologising and taking action against the Waqf board and its chairperson, they have registered a case against people who expressed their anger against the desecration. The MLA from Doda Mehraj Malik might have used harsh words or abusive language but to book an elected representative under the PSA seems to be a tactic to divert attention form the situation in Kashmir due to the Hazratbal incident, she said. The PDP chief said Doda was reeling under the effects of recent heavy rainfall and the administration chose to book the MLA instead of working on providing relief to the people. This speaks volumes about the enforcement of law in Jammu and Kashmir, she said. Mehbooba said the LG should stop the action against the people in connection with the Hazratbal incident and also release the MLA Doda. It will be my appeal to the LG to withdraw the FIR in the Hazratbal incident and also release MLA Doda. He might have used harsh language but PSA or jail is not the punishment for it, she said. The PDP president said the situation will only become worse if the people's freedom of expression is snatched or their voice is suppressed. Look at the situation in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka or even Nepal now ... see the situation obtaining in Doda. The LG should take cognisance of the situation on ground and set right the atmosphere by withdrawing the FIR (in Hazratbal) and release the MLA Doda, she added. Authorities impose restrictions in J&K's Doda to prevent fresh protests over AAP MLAs arrest; internet suspended

GST 2.0 to boost consumption, add Rs 20 lakh crore to GDP; benefits meant for people, says Vaishnaw
NEW DELHI: Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Saturday said that the GST reforms will not only provide a significant boost to the Indian economy, but will also greatly benefit the common people. During a press conference at the BJP central office, he lashed out at the previous Congress-led UPA government, claiming that the heavy burden of taxes during its tenure had negatively impacted peoples lives. Prior to 2014, a complex system of multiple taxes applied to every item, placing a heavy burden especially on common and middle-class families, the minister remarked. He further stated that Indias GDP is approximately Rs 330 lakh crore, of which nearly Rs 202 lakh crore comes from consumption. He added that following the GST reforms, consumption is expected to rise by 10%, thereby adding Rs 20 lakh crore to the nations GDP. Describing the GST reforms as a major gift from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Minister said that the PM had delivered historic reforms in GST aimed at benefiting middle-class families. Just as a major reform in income tax provided relief to middle-class families on income up to Rs 12 lakh, now, through comprehensive reforms in GST, the PM has given middle-class families a significant relief and gift, he said.
