धन्यवाद @ravish_journo जी,
IDBI बैंक के निजीकरण का मुद्दा उठाने के लिए,
सरकार इसे FDI बता रही है पर मुद्दा यह है की विदेशी निवेश नए इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर और नए नेटवर्क को तैयार करने में होना चाहिए ना घर के बर्तन बेच उसे FDI का जामा पहना कर उसका जयगान करना चाहिए।

Respected @PChidambaram_IN Sir, we all IDBIANS humbly appeal to you to raise your voice against IDBI Bank privatisation.
Please highlight concerns over undervaluation, employees’ job security and reservation safeguards.
Under your tenure we saw our country fly high and do for common people.
Urge the Government to protect this vital public institution.

To
The Hon'ble President of India
Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi
Madam President,
We, the undersigned citizens, employees, officers, customers and supporters of public-interest banking, respectfully seek your intervention as the constitutional Head of the Republic to secure a reconsideration of the proposed privatisation of IDBI Bank. This petition is initiated by the United Forum of IDBI Officers & Employees.
A national institution, a national responsibility
IDBI was established in 1964 to serve India's industrial development. Its contribution to industry, infrastructure and productive capacity forms part of the nation's institutional heritage. Its transformation into a commercial bank should not extinguish that public purpose. We believe that transferring control of such an institution to private interests, particularly foreign controlled interests, raises serious questions of economic sovereignty, democratic accountability and national interest.
Honour the assurance given to Parliament
During consideration of the 2003 legislation transforming IDBI, the then Finance Minister, Shri Jaswant Singh, assured Parliament that the Government would retain at least 51 per cent ownership. We submit that this solemn assurance must be addressed openly and substantively before any further transfer of control. An assurance to Parliament carries a responsibility to the people that cannot be answered merely by treating privatisation as an administrative transaction.
The supplied compilation records subsequent parliamentary interventions and questions concerning disinvestment, employee protection and reservation. It does not identify an express parliamentary decision withdrawing or modifying the 2003 assurance. We therefore seek examination of the original assurance and its subsequent treatment by the competent parliamentary committees, and a reasoned statement by the Government before Parliament.
Protect social justice and equal opportunity
Public banking has provided an important avenue of opportunity for Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Other Backward Classes, persons with disabilities and other disadvantaged sections. We are deeply concerned about the future of reservation in recruitment and promotion wherever applicable, representation, and related safeguards following privatisation. Temporary protection of existing employees cannot substitute for durable opportunities for future generations. These concerns deserve explicit, enforceable answers before any irreversible step.
Keep ordinary people within the banking system.
Banking is an essential instrument of economic participation. Small depositors, farmers, workers, pensioners, women, small businesses and underserved communities require affordable accounts, accessible branches, fair credit and responsive grievance redress. We fear that a stronger emphasis on commercial returns may lead to higher charges, reduced physical access or diminished attention to less profitable customers and regions. Exclusion from banking can become exclusion from development.
Safeguard economic sovereignty and public assets
Economic sovereignty requires the capacity to direct finance towards national development and social priorities. We do not suggest that foreign investment by itself establishes wrongdoing. Our concern is the transfer of strategic control, the long-term use of public savings and an institution built through national effort. Public investment and institutional recovery must be assessed alongside valuation, future earning capacity, public-service obligations and the consequences of losing public control.
Our respectful appeal

IDBI Bank is increasing its profits year after year and strengthening its financial position..
Why is the Government choosing to transfer its management control to a private investor instead of allowing the people of India to benefit from its future growth?
