Jamshedpur | Saturday | 5th February, 2022

Summary:

Jamshedpur, Feb 5 (PTI) All India Bank Employees Association (AIBEA) general council member Hira Arkane on Saturday expressed disagreement with the comment by the secretary to the Department of Investment and Public Asset Management (DIPAM) Tuhin Kanta Pandey, who advocated privatisation of public sector banks.

Describing Pandey"s comments as "unfortunate", Arkane said in a statement here that such a statement was contrary to facts and ground realities.

The mention of privatisation has created a sense of insecurity among the bank employees related to its stability and most importantly, privatisation would end the reservation policy immediately, he said.

Pandey had stated that privatisation of state-owned banks was not intended to take away jobs but to increase sustainable jobs.

Arkhane claimed that even today the general masses have faith in government institutions as all national and society-oriented works were being implemented through the public sector banks.

Youths are seeking government jobs as they feel secure about their future in them.
