Fact-check: The SC suggested expert body on freebies will include various stakeholders, not just taxpayers - FACTLY
Verdict: the sc has not decided to set up a committee to form an all-india organisation of taxpayers which will be the biggest organisation in the world. however, the sc suggested an expert body on freebies that will include various stakeholders, not just limited to taxpayers as mentioned in the post. also, there is no mention of absolute powers to the suggested body. the sc asked the parties to make their suggestions about the composition of such a body within one week's time. hence the claim made in the post is misleading.
