Alleging that Gurumurthy insulted the public sector bank employees and their contribution in nation building, the AIREBA in a letter sent to the finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman has demanded that appropriate action must be taken against Gurumurthy for his comments.
AIREBA said that Gurumurthy has insulted the PSBs which played a very important role in strengthening and saving the Indian economy.
The AIREBA alleged that RSS supporter Gurumurthy has, on May 8, called the public sector banks “scums/filth”.
During the 52nd anniversary celebration of the Thuglak magazine, responding to a reader’s query, Gurumurthy referred to public sector bank employees as ‘Kazhisadai’ (Tamil word roughly translated as ‘filth/scum). He reportedly made this comment in the presence of the finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman.
Expressing shock and dismay at Gurumurthy’s comment the AIREBA said, “This is utmost shocking, repugnant and reprehensible, which along with the bank employees of the country, we, Reserve Bank Employees deplore unambiguously.”
