On The Urban Debate, Afrida Rahman Ali, we delve into the new bill on the privatisation of banks that is going to be tabled on December 8 in the ongoing Winter Session of the parliament. NITI Aayog has shortlisted the Central Bank of India and the Indian Overseas Bank for disinvestment. India has already witnessed unhealthy levels of non-performing assets of NPAs in the banking sector. Farm leader Rakesh Tikait has already pledged to protest the bill. Afrida lays down some bare facts before welcoming our guests for the night. We are joined by Prof. Santosh Mehrotra, a prominent economist, Ashwini Rana, founder of Voice of Banking, and Saket Mishra, economist and investment banker. The panellists answer some poignant questions and help us get clarity on the new bill and its implications for the common person. #TheUrbanDeabte #AfridaRahmanAli #PrivatisationOfBanks
