Watch: Wedding guests scuffle, throw chairs at each other over missing 'paneer' in dish

<p>In the midst of the conflict, a hashtag on Twitter began trending against the over 5per cent GST on packaged daily use foods like Paneer Butter Masala. Shashi Tharoor, a leader in the Congress, shared a meme today about the GST on Twitter, writing, "I don't know who comes up with these brilliant Whatsapp forwards but this one skewers the folly of the GST as few jokes have!"</p>

<p>Tharoor criticized the administration before for raising the GST rate. The Congress leader said, "This GST rate hike is breathtakingly irresponsible at a time of mounting economic difficulties for most Indians. The Aam Aadmi will bear the brunt of the burden even as inflation eats into his earnings. Does this government believe it can get away with anything?"</p>
