With the GST bill being the crucial bill in the upcoming parliamentary session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday appealed to the Opposition to help pass the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Bill in the monsoon session of Parliament that starts tomorrow. In an all party meet called by the government, he said, "GST is of national importance. Issue is not which government gets credit.

Important Bills, including GST will be taken up in the monsoon session and I hope for meaningful discussions and outcomes". After the meet, leader of Opposition, Rajya Sabha, Ghulam Nabi Azad was quoted as saying, "We will support any bill which willbe in the interest of the nation, people and growth.

We will let the bills pass on basis of merit, will not obstruct passage of bills". While Modi added saying, "All of us represent both the people and parties and let's keep national interests above everything else". Congress's Jyotiraditya Scindia said, "We want a concrete draft proposal from the government on GST. If we know how they plan to address the three contentious issues, we can revert." The next meeting between the government and the Congress is expected to take place on Tuesday.
