Union Minister Anurag Thakur and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have accused the Congress of harboring a sinister plan to implement an inheritance tax, burdening citizens even after their demise. This revelation came to light following the remarks made by senior Congress leader Sam Pitroda, who discussed the existence of such a tax in the United States. Thakur denounced this idea as anti-sanatan and anti-descendants, claiming that the Congress aims to deny children their rightful inheritance. Prime Minister Modi has also highlighted this issue, alleging that if the Congress regains power, it will redistribute personal wealth to infiltrators and seize women’s mangalsutras. Amidst the controversy, Modi asserted that the Congress’s agenda encompasses both ‘loot during your lifetime and loot after your death’ through high taxation and inheritance tax.
