He demanded, the bill be referred to the standing Committee with the request to submit the report at the earliest. Another party leader Mallikarjun Kharge said the treasury benches are trying to create an impression that the opposition is delaying the bill. AIADMK member M Thambidurai also expressed fear that his state Tamil Nadu may lose ten thousand crore rupees annually once the GST is implemented. He strongly pitched for referring the bill to the Standing Committee for wider consultations.
Amidst the opposition demands, the Speaker Sumitra Mahajan allowed the Finance Minister to make an introductory statement on the bill in the House. Dissatisfied with the Speaker's ruling, Congress, Trinamool Congress, Samajwadi party, Rashtriya Janata Dal and Left members staged a walkout.
