The Finance Bill should be renamed the "tax trap bill," the opposition argued on Wednesday, accusing the Centre of engaging in "tax terrorism" and condemning it for encouraging a "reverse Robin Hood" scenario under the Modi administration. Folklore has it that Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor, reported PTI. 

According to the report, Trinamool Congress (TMC) MP Kalyan Banerjee acknowledged that India`s economy was the fastest-growing while pointing out that the poor were not benefiting from this growth during the Finance Bill debate. He drew attention to the lack of policies for the unorganised sector and ways to address the issue of unemployment. In addition, Banerjee attacked the budgetary allotment for West Bengal and brought attention to the nation`s 1.5 million-strong physician shortage.
