The Central Government is going to take the biggest strictness till date on the Gutkha and Pan Masala industry. After complaints of increasing use of these products, health risks and tax evasion for a long time, the government has now prepared to implement a new and strict financial provision. The government is planning to impose a new tax called ‘National Security and Public Health Cess’, which will not only strengthen control over the manufacturers of these products, but will also raise additional resources for national security and public health missions.

The government is considering the ‘Health Security to National Security Cess Bill 2025’ to be presented in the upcoming winter session of Parliament as an important economic reform to strengthen the health and security infrastructure. Come, let us know big things about it.

1. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will present this bill in the Lok Sabha. Its purpose is to raise additional funds for national security and health plans.

2. The new cess will be imposed on the machines and production process that make Gutkha-Pan Masala. That means the tax will be decided on the basis of production capacity and not on the quantity of finished product.

3. Whether the goods are made by machine or by hand, it will be mandatory for all manufacturers to pay cess every month. Fixed monthly fee will also be fixed for those producing by hand.

4. After approval in Parliament, the amount collected from this cess will be spent on national security and public health projects. If necessary, the government can also double this cess.

5. There is a provision of jail sentence of up to 5 years for not following the rules. However, companies will be able to appeal from the appellate authorities to the Supreme Court.

6. Every Gutkha-Pan Masala manufacturer will have to compulsorily register. Producing without this will be considered illegal.

7. It will be mandatory for the companies on which this cess will be applicable to file monthly returns. Government officials will be able to investigate and audit.

8If any machine or production process remains closed for more than 15 days, then exemption in cess can be given for that period,

9. This bill is being considered as the biggest step of the government towards cracking down on tobacco and pan masala industry and increasing government revenue.

SIR, BLO’s death and Delhi blasts… Congress will corner Parliament on these issues, what is the government’s agenda?

The sensation spread in the Supreme Court of the country on Monday (October 6) when a person threw a shoe at Chief Justice (CJI) BR Gawai. This incident happened for the first time in judicial history, which has shocked the entire country. On this, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has reacted strongly and called it an attack on democratic values ​​of India.

Tejashwi Yadav said in his statement that it is not just one person but an attack on the entire judicial system and constitution. He said that when the person sitting in the highest judicial post of the country has to face insults in the court, then it is a matter of concern. This is the same atmosphere that was spread in the country after 2014 under state protection, where hatred and violence were made normal.

Constitutional post in the country is also no longer safe- Tejashwi Yadav

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav described the incident as a symbol of the Constitution and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar’s intolerance to the ideology. He said that the Chief Justice comes from the Dalit community and follows the spirit of the Constitution. If such individuals are not safe in constitutional positions, then this question is not only for the judiciary but for the whole country.

Why are the BJP who have anti-Dalit mentality now silent- Tejashwi Yadav

Tejashwi Yadav further said that this shoe has not been thrown on the Chief Justice, but on our Constitution and its author Baba Saheb Ambedkar. He alleged that people who spread hatred in the name of religion are now openly attacking the institutions of the country. Taking a dig at the BJP, he said that why the BJP holding the constitution and anti -Dalit mindset is silent on this incident. Do they find it all right? The dignity of the judiciary is the backbone of our democracy and it is the duty of every citizen to save it.

Democracy will be strengthened only when we respect his institutions

Tejashwi Yadav finally appealed to the countrymen to stand united against such trends which are weakening the constitution and the foundation of justice. He said that democracy will be strong only when we respect its institutions and maintain the dignity of the Constitution.

This incident has not only shocked the judicial world, but has also created a stir in the political corridors. The opposition has described it as a warning a threat to democracy, while a new debate has erupted on the security and dignity of the judiciary across the country.

Mumbai Comedian: In the case of standup comedian Kunal Kamra, Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande has claimed that he has also abused the video and if needed, the party will also adopt a legal way against him. Manisha has alleged that there are some people behind Kunal Kamra, at the behest of which he is doing all this. All those people have been exposed on Monday.

Kamra clearly refused to apologize

Kunal Kamra commented against him without naming Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in a show. Shiv Sainiks have been enraged since this video. Comedian’s studio was also vandalized. After this, there were speculations that he would pacify the matter by apologizing, but it did not happen. According to a statement, Kamra has refused to apologize. However, he has said that he is ready to cooperate in the police interrogation.

No right to use derogatory language- Shiv Sena

Reacting to this, Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayende told IANS, “We will take the matter forward in every way. If needed, we will do it legally. Whatever methods will be needed, we will move forward because the constitution does not give anyone the right to use the derogatory language. You will see the video of Kunal Kamra carefully, we know that we also give us the abuse. Abuse anyone?

Honor each other’s festivals- Manisha

On the demand of BJP MLA Ravi Negi to close meat shops on Navratri, Shiv Sena leader Manisha Kayande said that every person has his own thinking. It is not necessary that everyone talk about it. We all live together. In our country, where people of different castes and religions live together, we respect each other’s festivals and traditions. I do not think such demand should be implemented in Maharashtra, because it will increase fights. We all should respect each other’s festival.
