CREDIT FOR WOODEN CHEST

Though the credit war has begun over the claim on the original manufacture of the wooden chest presented to US President Donald Trump by Prime Minister Narendra Modi actually the credit goes to the poor working craftsmen of Hoshiarpur. Craftsmen are happy that the old declining ancient trade has become a focus of discussion. The PM deserves appreciation for this. However, I urge the Prime Minister to help this trade by exempting if from goods and services tax (GST) under which 12% tax has been imposed.
