The United Forum of Bank Union (UFBU), an umbrella body of nine bank unions, called for a two-day nationwide strike on March 15 and 16 against the privatisation of public sector banks and retrograde banking reforms. Over 10 lakh bank employees and officers participated in the strike. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has assured that not all banks will be privatised and wherever it happens, the interest of the employees will be protected. Addressing the media amid a two-day nationwide bank strike called by nine unions against the proposed privatisation, she said, "The decision of privatization is a well thought out decision. We want banks to get more equity... We want banks to meet the aspirations of the country". She added, "Those banks which are likely to get privatised, the interest of every staff member will be protected. Interest of existing employees will be protected at all cost.” Watch the full episode of Prime Time with Ravish Kumar for more.
