Tax Terrorism is terrifying - One can't run government by thinking that everybody is thief

YOU know who said that?

Our Hon'ble Prime Minister Mr.Narendra Modi - while speaking at a FICCI meeting on 15.01.2014 - just four months ago.

Now that Modi is the Prime Minister, will there be an attempt to end this tax terrorism and treatment of all assessees as thieves. Instances of tax terrorism are many - the law that your stay gets vacated because the Tribunal could not hear your appeal is the height of it! Perhaps, nowhere in the civilised world, you will have a law which says that if the Government fails to do something, the citizen will be punished.
