Mumbai: Bank employees
here will protest Friday on the Dalal Street - where the country's
premier bourse, the Bombay Stock Exchange, is located - following
New York's 'Occupy Wall Street' campaign, an official said
Tuesday.
"The policy represented by Dalal Street is identical to the
policies followed at the Wall Street. We, the bank employees, are
continuously waging war against liberalization of Indian economy
and the privatization policy of the government of India in the
banking sector," general secretary of the All India Bank Employees
Association (AIBEA) Vishwas Utagi said.
AIBEA has called upon bank employees and Indian citizens to join
the movement Nov 4 where they will protest the policies of
government and the Reserve Bank of India on the street where the
stock market is located in south Mumbai.
"Through 'Occupy Dalal Street Movement' we want to convey that we
will not tolerate new licences to corporate houses for opening new
private banks," Utagi said.
"We are also fighting against the growing wilful loan defaulters
who are responsible for huge non-performing assets to the tune of
three lakh crore rupees in the banking industry," he added.
"Government's economic policies are for super rich corporates and
are against the interest of 'aam aadmi'," Utagi said.
