Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman today assured that not all banks will be privatised and wherever it happens, the interest of the employees will be protected. Addressing the media amid a two-day banking strike called by nine unions against the proposed privatisation, she said, "We want banks to meet the aspirations of the country". "Those banks which are likely to get privatised, the interest of every staff member will be protected. Interest of existing employees will be protected at all cost," Ms Sitharaman said.
