NO GST ON LAUGHTER, SAYS RENUKA

Panaji, Feb. 11: Hitting back at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his “Ramayana” jibe at her in Parliament, Congress MP Renuka Chowdhury on Sunday said there was no GST on laughter and that she did not need anyone’s permission to laugh.

She also said that Modi’s remarks against her showed his mindset towards women.

The former Union minister said she received a huge support from women across the country after Modi's remarks over her laughter.

“There were hashtags like #Laugh like Surpankha, #Lol is a passe and #Laugh Like Renuka Chowdhury.

“I am a five-time MP and the prime minister draws a parallel of me with a negative character. But he forgets that the women today have changed and they know how to speak for themselves. This shows his mindset towards women,” she told reporters.
