Kathmandu.

The main opposition Nepali Congress has said government’s direction for immediate submission of tax while country is in lockdown due to COVID-19 is impractical. Issuing a press release today, NC parliamentary party said at a time when the government needs to introduce special relief package to the small and cottage industries, workers and farmers to restore economy, government’s notice of very short time for tax submission was irresponsible. 

This notice must be withdrawn, party chief whip Balkrishna Khand said, reminding the government that guarantee of security to the citizens is the top priority of the government at present.
