Agartala July 21: All India Bank Officers Confederation has taken up several programs in different districts of the state to spread the slogan of “Bank Bachao Desh Bachao”. On Thursday, the organization held programs at different places in Sepahijala and Gomati districts.
The central government has taken initiative to privatize two nationalized banks. Allegedly, they tried to privatize the bank in the budget session in 2021 but it got stuck because of protests. The United Forum Bank union has started a movement across the country to prevent the privatization of these banks. All India Bank Officers Confederation is also continuing the agitation. This joint organization of bank employees and officers is organizing a dharna at Jantarmantar in Delhi on Thursday with the slogan “Bank Bachao Desh Bachao”.
The organization has undertaken programs in different districts of the country. Programs are also being held in the state.
On Thursday, they took up the program in different parts of Sepahijala district and Gomati district. Bank employees and officers left for the two districts from Agartala Press Club.
The leadership of bank officers and employees' organizations said that this fight is not only for the employees of the banking industry. The organization's leadership alleged that the central government is taking one step after another to destroy the functioning of the nationalized banking industry. Banks should be saved for the sake of the country; this industry cannot be handed over to the capitalists in any way, said agitating bank employees.
