For the first time, the youth are going to join the strike of the bank workers who are opposing privatization. We are going to campaign against the hashtag ‘We will not let the country sell’ on social media. According to Anupam, the national convenor of Yuva Hallabol, the youth group will also participate in the strike on March 15 and 16 in banks across the country. Apart from this, we have launched a campaign against privatization on Twitter through the hashtag ‘We will not let the country sell’. Anupam, the convener of ‘Yuva Halla Bol’, which has brought the issue of employment to the national debate, has strongly opposed the plan of handing out profit-making public sector banks to political interests.

Handing of employees in private hands in danger
Bank employees demand that public sector banks not be entrusted to private hands. This can put employees’ jobs at risk. The government says that privatizing these banks is very important for running some government institutions. If some institutions are not privatized, it will be difficult to remove the salary of the employees there. In such a situation, it is better to hand over these institutions in private hands, so that the jobs of the employees continue. The government claims that after privatization no employee’s job is going to be affected.
