reason for strike
Recently, during the presentation of the annual budget, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had announced to raise Rs 1.75 lakh crore through disinvestment. Modi government will raise this amount through privatization of several government companies as well as some banks. Bank employees unions are opposing the government’s proposed move to privatize two public sector banks by amending the existing laws in the current session.
