Public banks not assets to be sold off, they are tools to build nation: Rahul amid IDBI bank sale row
Rahul Gandhi told parliament that public sector banks should serve nation‑building rather than be treated as sellable assets. He questioned why a profitable bank like IDBI was being transferred to Canadian firm Fairfax without explanation, and asked how staff and depositors would be safeguarded. He said the government clearly offered no justification for the sale.
