Congress MPs were on panel that backed MDR on UPI: Government

The government has stated that Congress MPs were members of a panel that backed the Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) on UPI payments. This comes as Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has called for a rollback of the government's decision to impose fees on UPI transactions.

The government's assertion appears aimed at countering opposition criticism of the UPI fee proposal. The Congress has opposed the move, arguing it would burden common citizens and affect digital payment adoption.
