Bank frauds set to rock Parliament, Cong to talk to other parties

February 20, 2018 21:17

The multi-crore PNB bank fraud and the Rotomac issue is set to rock the second leg of Parliament's Budget Session with the Congress saying it would talk to other like-minded parties and demand answers from the government on the state of the banking sector in the country.

Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari said his party would not let go of the issues till the government gives a satisfactory response.

The second leg of the Budget Session of Parliament is slated to commence from March 5.

He said the Congress would demand answers from the government not just on the Rs 11,400-crore Punjab National Bank fraud involving diamond merchant Nirav Modi and the Rotomac fraud issue, but on the credibility of the entire banking sector.

"The second part of the budget session is starting and the Congress will talk to other parties which have concern over the country's banking sector and will demand answers from the government on the issue," Tewari told reporters.

"Till the time the government addresses the issue, we will not leave it there," he said, adding all political parties which are hurt by 'malgovernance' will come together in Parliament on the issue and ask the government to break its silence.
