ISLAMABAD The government on Friday moved the Reformed General Sales Tax (RGST) Bill, 2010 in the Senate amid protest of the two ruling coalition partners - MQM and JUI-F - saying the Bill would cause a tsunami of inflation in the country. Leader of the Opposition, Nayyer Hussain Bokhari, moved the Bill besides another Bill titled Finance (Amendment) Act, 2010 to levy 10 percent flood surcharge on income tax and to increase the rate of special excise duty from 1 percent to 2 percent under the Federal Excise Act, 2005. Both the Bills were later referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Finance and Revenue for further consideration. The government had to face no criticism from the opposition parties for introducing the RGST Bill as they had already boycotted the session on the differences for the passage of the Reinstatement of Sacked Employees, 2010 since last Wednesday. However, MQM and JUI-F opposed the proposed law. Tahir Hussain Mushhadi of MQM raised the slogans against the proposed RGST Bill, before the Chair prorogued the session. He said that the government should bring reforms in the public sector enterprises like PIA and Pakistan Steel Mills that were causing losses of billions of rupees to the national kitty instead of reforming the GST. Abdul Khaliq Pirzada of the same party said that the already high-rise inflation has hit the general masses who would take to streets after the imposition of new taxes. Maulana Ghafoor Haidri also opposed the RGST Bill saying that his party would not support it because an additional burden in the form of new taxes was being passed on to the masses. He termed the new proposed law like a drone attack on the masses. Earlier, many legislators on separate point of orders condemned the suicide truck bomb attack on a CID building in Karachi, the other day. Gul Mohammad Lot suggested that many important buildings and offices were located in the area where the explosion had taken place adding that all the offices of security as well as intelligence agencies should be isolated from the main population areas to avoid such situation in future. Zahid Khan of ANP condemned the political parties who have a soft corner for militants saying that terrorists were killing innocent people but some were suggesting to hold dialogues with them. Jihad policy damaged the Kashmir cause and some political parties have a soft corner for the militants only to get their support in the next elections, he claimed. Senator Safdar Abbasi termed the suicide attack a failure of the security agencies saying that how the did terrorists reach their target after crossing four police check posts of the red zone. Advisor to PM, Mian Raza Rabbani, while speaking on the issue, said that the government never bothered to implement the recommendations of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security regarding the development of FATA and Northern Areas that the committee gave to counter the menace of terrorism. As long as we did not develop a sovereign policy to evolve a national counter-terrorism strategy while keeping in view our own interests, the issue of terrorism could not be resolved, he viewed. He alleged that no coordination existed between the law enforcement as well as intelligence agencies at provincial, division and district levels. He wished if National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) would be effective, then there was a possibility in the improvement of situation. He also said that the National Security Committee had condemned the announcement of US President Barak Obama for his support to India in becoming the permanent member of UN Security Council. India did not qualify to be a member of UNSC as it had itself violated many resolutions of the body, Rabbani remarked. He said that how could India sit in the organisation where the brutalities of its forces on innocent Kashmiris had no example in the world. He hoped that the government would raise the issue at diplomatic level.
