Government imposes VAT on the word 'intolerance'

Harshly reacting to loss in Bihar, NDA Government has announced value added tax on the word 'intolerance'. Law Ministry's circular released today morning said that a person who claims himself intellectual or anybody related to mainstream media or movies, or is professional writer and activist or casual reader and chit chat guy will have to pay 20% duty or Rs 20,000 whichever is higher if he/she rakes up the word 'intolerance' through the means of pen or mouth.
"This word (intolerance) has divided the country and also affected brains of Bihari voters which led to firecrackers on the streets of Pakistan. Use of word 'Intolerance' is a scarce commodity in a democracy like India which if used in an illegal manner creates serious consequences in the country. We also believe that as the use of word 'intolerance's is excessively used in India, it provides an opportunity for the government to generate additional revenue and bridge fiscal deficit," said a press release signed by India's Law Minister D. V. Sadananda Gowda.
Explanation - In short it means 'SHUT UP AND AVOID SAYING ANYTHING LIKE INTOLERANCE'
According to finance ministry official, revenue collected through value added tax on word 'intolerance' would cut fiscal deficit to GDP by at least 1.5% in FY16.
