Bengaluru: Karnataka Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council and senior Congress leader BK Hariprasad on Saturday called for the sacking of RBI Director S Gurumurthy over his controversial remarks on the public sector bank employees.
At the 52nd anniversary celebration of Tamil magazine Thuglak, held recently in Chennai, Gurumurthy, who is also its editor, used the Tamil word ‘Kazhisadai’ (translated as scum/filth) to refer to public sector bank employees in a derogatory manner. This was followed by a backlash against Gurumurthy across social media platforms and several Unions calling for his resignation as the Director of RBI.
“RSS affiliate Gurumurthy with zero capabilities is made RBI director. He insults bank employees with unsavory remarks in the presence of Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman and the statement is not condemned,” he said in a tweet.
Further, he alleged that the statements made by Gurumurthy “hurts the self-dignity of bank employees who toil hard,” and added that he should be “sacked immediately.”
