LS MP Sougata Ray opposes the introduction of The Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025

Madam, under Rule 72(1), I beg to oppose the introduction of the Central Excise (Amendment) Bill, 2025. It is on tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitute products. Tobacco is harmful for the human body and this Bill does not mention such dangers on the packets of tobacco and manufactured tobacco substitute products. It only seeks to collect excise from tobacco. It causes immense harm to human beings.
