Gujarat government throws centre's I-T notice in dustbin


Gujarat government spokesperson Shri Jaynarayan Vyas on Wednesday said that the government had dumped in the dustbin the Income Tax department’s letter seeking details of Memorandums of Understanding(MoUs) signed at Vibrant Gujarat summits.

Speaking to reporters, Health Minister and Gujarat Government spokesperson Jaynarayan Vyas said, “The state government does not intend to respond to the letter of the IT department. We have dumped the letter in the dustbin.”

Vyas said there is no provision under which the central government department can seek such details from the state government and such action was illegal.

Vyas also said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, during his recent visit to Ahmedabad had stated that such a letter was unwarranted.
