Strongly opposing Prime Minister Narendra Modi s plans to privatise all public sector banks (PSBs), the Unted Forum of Banking Unions on Thursday said that it could imperil Rs 80 lakh crore hard-earned money belonging to the people.
UFBU Convenor Devidas Tuljapurkar said that the move could prove counterproductive as the private sector banks will work towards accounting profits vis-a-vis the PSBs which strive towards social profits .
To protest the move to privatise the PSBs, the UFBU will go on a two-day nationwide strike on March 15-16, he said.
India is still confronted by poverty, unemployment, hunger, there is acute economic disparity and geographical imbalances There is a need to implement social sector lending schemes in which the private sector banks hardly contribute, Tuljapurkar said.
