*UNITED IN SOLIDARITY!*
*The struggle to save IDBI Bank is a collective struggle of the entire banking fraternity!*
In a powerful expression of unity, commitment and collective resolve, We extended AIBOC’s wholehearted solidarity and moral support to the officers and employees of IDBI Bank at the *Maha Dharna held at Azad Maidan, Mumbai, on 23rd October 2026,* opposing the proposed privatisation of the Bank.
Standing shoulder to shoulder with our fighting employees, we reaffirmed that the struggle to protect IDBI Bank’s public sector character is not merely the concern of its employees, but a *collective responsibility of the entire banking fraternity* to safeguard public sector banking, protect employees’ livelihoods and preserve institutions built on public trust.
*Shri @ianildesai Ji, Hon’ble Member of Parliament, Shiv Sena (UBT),* also visited the dharna and extended his support. He further *assured the gathering that the issue would be raised on the floor of Parliament*, providing an important platform for the concerns of IDBI Bank officers and employees to be brought before the nation’s highest legislative forum.
**Our strength lies in our unity. Our resolve lies in our solidarity. Our responsibility lies in protecting the future of public sector banking.**
Today, we stand firmly with our comrades at IDBI Bank, united by the conviction that no struggle for a just cause should ever be fought alone. The collective voice of banking officers and employees is a powerful expression of our shared commitment to institutional integrity, public trust and the future of our banking system.
🔥 *TOGETHER WE STAND*.

जिन विभागों को प्राइवेट करना चाहिए उन्हें सरकार अनदेखा कर रही है और banks के पीछे पड़ी है।
ज़मीनी मामलों से जुड़े सभी विभागों में बहुत कामचोरी और घूसखोरी है। इन्हें सबसे पहले प्राइवेट कर देना चाहिए।
IDBI was a national asset and will be remain same. It was made by public, for public.
We wouldn't let the history to be repeated.

आज़ाद मैदान में हल्ला बोल, IDBI को बेचने वालों की खोलो पोल!

Thank you, Shri Anil Desai Ji, for addressing the gathering at Azad Maidan, Mumbai, and raising your voice in support of the cause. Your solidarity strengthens our fight to protect IDBI Bank and its future...@ianildesai#IDBINotForSale#GOBACKFAIRFAX
The United Forum of IDBI Officers and Employees has strongly opposed this move, calling it not just privatisation but also “foreignisation” of a strategically important Indian bank.
Concerns of employees:
IDBI Bank has turned around and is consistently profitable — public money and employee efforts revived it.
In 2003, Parliament was assured that the Government’s stake would not go below 51%. This decision goes against that assurance.
Risks to existing service conditions, pension benefits, and reservation policies for SC/ST/OBC employees.
Transfer of control of an institution that handles large public deposits and supports financial inclusion to a foreign entity.
Employees have announced a nationwide two-day hunger strike on 2 & 3 November 2026.
IDBI Bank belongs to the nation and its people — not for sale to foreign private interests.
