Hyderabad: Activists of the CPI(M) and CPI held a protest near the venue of the GST Council meeting here today.
Led by CPI leader K Narayana, slogan-shouting Left activists were stopped by the police when they were walking towards the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), where the meeting is being held.

Narayana demanded that common man be given relief under the new tax regime, which came into force on July 1.
