Asit Kumar Mal’s ZH mention on the need for the government to remove GST on medicines so as to reduce their prices and also ensure drugs companies do not get a free hand in increasing prices
Madam, I would like to draw the attention of the Government to the price hike of medicines. The people of our country cannot bear the excessive pressure of price rise anymore. The price of daily commodities is increasing day by day. The price of medicines is increasing at an alarming rate and it is exploiting the people. The medicine manufacturing companies get a huge amount of money by electoral bonds. They do not care anybody. They are free to increase the cost of medicines. Has this Government any responsibility in this matter? We have drawn the attention of the Government inside the Parliament to remove the GST on medicines. I would like to draw the attention of the hon. Prime Minister to this matter. Thank you for giving me the opportunity.
