Qualified
candidates of IBPS (Institute of Banking Personnel Selection) PO/MT-II
examination are sitting on a dharna today in front of the Delhi
residence of Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi, asking for their
demands to be fulfilled.
“We
have come to Mr. Gandhi as a last resort. Earlier, we sat on dharnas at
Jantar Mantar, and in front of the IBPS Chairman, but to no avail. We
are pinning all our hopes on Mr. Gandhi,” says Dipak, one of the lead
protesters.
“We
have been sitting here for the last three hours, but we have failed to
meet Mr. Gandhi. His PA came to us and said that he wouldn’t be able to
meet us today because he is busy. The PA has directed us to go meet NSUI
president Rohit Chaudhary. But, we came here to meet Mr. Gandhi.”
IBPS is the autonomous body that conducts examinations for selecting employees for 20 public sector and regional rural banks
The
candidates are protesting the move by IBPS to conduct a fresh
examination to recruit people, even when the selected candidates of the
last examination were told that they would be considered as and when new
vacancies came up.
“Our
IBPS registration is still valid. It will be valid till 31st March this
year. These jobs should rightfully go to us,” says Dipak.
Meanwhile,
protesting candidates allege that the police has been trying to
intimidate them by threatening them of arrest, and lathi-charge.
“Police
personnel were trying to scare us till some time back. Now they have
allowed us time till evening to vacate else they have threatened to use
other means,” says Dipak.
