BJP objects to GST in Mersel

The BJP today took objection to what it termed as “untruths” regarding the GST in the just-released Tamil movie “Mersal”, starring popular actor Vijay, and wanted dialogues on the central taxation to be deleted.

“The film producer should remove the untruths regarding GST from the film,” Union Minister Pon Radhakrishnan told reporters in Nagercoil in Tamil Nadu.

He said wrong information should not be spread through cinema and actors should not confuse people using the medium and try to derive political mileage.

Senior BJP leader H Raja also slammed the references to the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in the movie in his Twitter handle and said it only exposed the lack of knowledge of economics.
