'Tried to complicate': Raghav Chadha on Sitharaman's tax relief counter in Parliament
Friday, 14 February 2025 MP Raghav Chadha countered finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman's claim on the new tax relief in the Union Budget, clarifying that it is a rebate, not an exemption or deduction. Chadha emphasized that individuals earning above Rs 12 lakh will be taxed on their entire income as per the set slabs.
New Zealand’s Parliament suspended three opposition lawmakers, Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over their haka performance in protest of a controversial bill. The bill, supported by the conservative government, sparked backlash from the Māori community, with critics claiming it represented an anti-Māori agenda. This protest, the most severe disciplinary action against lawmakers in New Zealand’s history, signals a growing debate over Māori culture’s role in public life and the nation’s push for Indigenous rights.
