A section of officers of the public sector banks (PSBs) under AIBOC will hold a ‘March-to- Parliament’ protest on Tuesday against a move to consolidate state-owned lenders and other ‘anti-worker’ decisions of the Government.
All India Bank Officers' Confederation General Secretary Harvinder Singh said AIBOC has called the protest on the same day (August 9) on which Gandhiji had launched Quit India movement in 1942 to oust the British from India, because it too wants to save the Indian economy from the clutches of capitalists and foreigners, while protecting PSBs.
More than 10,000 officers including from communication, power and other public sector entities will take part in the march, he said.
“We are opposing policies of the Government that are leading to the foreign direct investment into critical sectors including banking. We want to oppose the privatisation. The government is not paying attention to our issues,” Singh said.
