His creative efforts, especially when portions of the country are witnessing erratic communal clashes in the name of temples and mosques, would undoubtedly play a pivotal role in establishing brotherhood and owness among the citizens.

New Delhi: The BJP and the Congress were engaged in an intense verbal duel in the RajyaSabha, as the ruling party castigated the erstwhile UPA regime for its many failures, to which the opposition fired back by calling the Modi dispensation a "name changer" government.

In his maiden address to the Upper House since being elected in August 2017, BJP president Amit Shah tore into the Congress for criticizing GST as "Gabbar Singh Tax" and thereby "inciting" people not to pay taxes.

"Gabbar Singh was a Hindi film dacoit. Is legally claiming taxes from people a dacoity? And where does this Gabbar Singh Tax/GST go? It goes in the bank account of a jawan for giving One Rank, One Pension, it goes in the bank account of widows of martyrs," Shah said.
